Cool, thanks for the detailed answer! It'll be interesting to see the results.

It's beyond obvious now, in this scale of society, that hiring solely via human-to-human interaction is inadequate at every level. I used to scan resumes by the dozen when hiring, and that was a task. When they come in by thousands, I despise but a little bit understand the impulse to "avoid unlucky applicants" by tossing half in the bin.

Keyword filtering and credential filtering may lean in the right direction but are both entirely inadequate.

So, perhaps properly training AIs on the key (not superficial and irrelevant) attributes of successful employees at that org, and screening on that, allowing in a far greater talent pool, can help.
