Employers only fix this sort of thing when they’re short of candidates.

When there’s plenty of candidates they happily shove them all down a terrible recruiting pipeline.

xacky•33m ago
This is why we need more "job creator" schemes. Why work for a terrible company when you can be a good company creating jobs for everyone. We need more entrepreneurs than ever, especially when in 2050 we will need jobs for 10 billion people.

> “The truth is, if you want a job, you’re gonna go through this thing,” Adam Jackson, CEO and founder of Braintrust, a company that distributes AI interviewers, tells Fortune.

Man, what a ghoul.

FirmwareBurner•50m ago
He's saying the quiet part out loud but all companies think the same whenever they design the hoops their candidates have to jump through.

It's shocking to me people are offended of hearing the truth.

Would you prefer if he lied to you and called you "valuable family members" instead?

saagarjha•46m ago
I manage our interview pipeline and none of our hoops involve AI interviewers. You can just not do them; that remains an option.
Mordisquitos•43m ago
That's shocking and irresponsible. Won't somebody please think of the shareholders' profits?
FirmwareBurner•13m ago
What does this have to do with what I just said? Did you see me defending their hoops or defending their honesty?

Either reading comprehension has gone down or people are itching to go off topic arguments just to insert their own opinions.

dragonwriter•6m ago
> What does this have to do with what I just said?

It literally directly contradicts the idea that what he is saying is, as you claim, “the truth”.

> Did you see me defending their hoops or defending their honesty?

Since the claim that you described as “the truth” is that product is simply an inevitability that everyone will have to deal with, defending their honesty is defending the hoops.

okasaki•42m ago
He's the CEO of a company that does AI interviews. He's promoting the company, not telling you uncomfortable truths.
JumpCrisscross•30m ago
> all companies think the same whenever they design the hoops their candidates have to jump through

Stop making hoops. Like what part of tech hiring do you really think you’ve innovated on enough to justify making new hoops?

Hell, you’d think with AI and everyone’s digital footprint you’d be able to reduce the number of hoops.

FirmwareBurner•20m ago
Where do you see ME making the hoops or defending the hoops?

But every company has their own version of hoops that you need to get that job. Nobody is forcing you though. You can just avoid the companies who's hoops you don't like.

What part of that I just said is false?

dragonwriter•11m ago
He’s not telling “the truth”, he is doing marketing propaganda trying to create an air of inevitability around his firms offering as a cognitive hack to get people (both potential buyers and people who might otherwise create pressure that potential buyers respond to) to be less likely to critically evaluate and respond to the offering, getting them to view it as simply a necessity for the future market that they need to adapt to rather than a choice with real costs beyond the sticker price that meed to be carefully weighed against demonstrable benefits.

He is not saying the truth of how it works. He is trying to build the world where it will be true.

Count ourselves lucky they haven’t lucky figured out how to make literal ghouls out of silica and the recently dead, because these people would.

Just what happened that caused employers to hold so much power in the employee-employer relationship? The collapse of collective bargaining, sure. But what else…

Decades and decades of unfettered Capitalism.

- Labor protections getting weaker over time, plus courts usually siding with employers. Overtime laws got chipped away, and a lot of folks get called "contractors" when they're basically employees.

- Jobs can move overseas way easier now, so workers don't really have the same leverage they used to.

- Big companies buying everything up, regional monopolies forming, and those non-compete clauses making it harder for people to switch jobs.

- At-will employment, temp work, gig jobs, outsourcing, just makes job security pretty shaky.

- Decades of anti-union talk, pushing this whole "you're on your own" idea, and selling "flexibility" like it's some amazing benefit.

- More workplace surveillance, algorithm-based schedules, and automated tracking, just gives the employer more control.

People quite literally fought tooth and nail with blood sweat and tears to gain their rights over the course of years and years during the 18th and 19th century. Many quite literally died, and a lot more were beaten to pulp by the job owners who hired muscle to do it.

Those gains we made have slowly been eroded.

I mean as a CEO you can imagine he would not admit "thats sucks, dont buy our product" in public.

It is all almost making richer even more richer, instead of properly hiring people for HR, AI bots.

Instead of having more people at the supermarket, have the customers work as if they were employees, the only thing missing is fetching stuff from warehouse when missing on the shelves, but still pay the same or more.

Instead of paying to artists, do job ads using generated AI images with code magically showing off monitor's back.

Instead of paying translators, do video ads with automatic translations and nerve irritating voice tones.

Gotta watch out for those profits, except they forget people also need money to buy their goods.

PicassoCTs•53m ago
Im half expecting the appearance of virtual people any day. Basically cooperate sponsored UBI - but for bots, so they can buy virtual goods and services, finally decoupling the economy from the desert of the real.
weikju•32m ago
That is sadly a likely outcome. An evolution of the companies forcing/encouraging employees to buy the company’s goods.
askonomm•24m ago
Does that mean that Company Towns are coming back?
linker3000•27m ago
At least one of my local, out of town, supermarkets doesn't have a warehouse any more.

It's all Just in Time, with a residual amount above the main shelves. If you can't find what you want, they don't have it 'out back', because apart from an unloading area, there's no 'out back'.

ekianjo•21m ago
on one hand people complain about sweatshops but on the other hand when the repetitive, soul crushing, low paid job is replaced by technology people complain as well. you can't have it both ways.
Eisenstein•16m ago
When did sweat shops get automated?
pjmlp•14m ago
People forget that in some parts of the globe sweatshops are the only jobs people can get, where are they supposed to work instead?

There is a middle ground, no need to treat people like slaves, nor throw them into the street without alternative source of income.

wolvesechoes•21m ago
> except they forget people also need money to buy their goods.

As implied by the sibling comment, the final stage is that they do not need people to buy anything.

Dead internet theory is too narrow in its vision.

chii•13m ago
> they forget people also need money to buy their goods.

the goods ought to have become cheaper if the ai/mechanization/industrialization is cheaper than labour.

And also when "the rich" have more profit, they now want to spend that profit on things, which spawns new luxury good industries.

Of course, the news cycle and the sob stories always revolve around people losing their existing jobs, but there is new jobs around that previously didnt exist. Jobs that people previously never thought was even "a job".

Of course, it is up to the individual to search and find their niche, and to produce value to sustain their own existence. The advent of AI is not going to be different.

pjmlp•6m ago
One such kind of jobs have leaders like in those mythical Robin Hood stories.

Those jobs certainly never go out of fashion, as seen in poorer world regions, where you as well say, people find new jobs all the time.

Garlef•53m ago
Maybe we can get a counter-AI that does the AI interview for us?
Mordisquitos•45m ago
I had the same thought.

The CEO of Braintrust, a company that offers AI interviewers, is quoted as saying “The truth is, if you want a job, you’re gonna go through this thing,”. Let's see how they react to the founding of 'Trainbust', a company offering AI interviewees to respond to AI interviewers. The truth is, if they want to use AI interviewers, they’re gonna have to go through this thing.

yetihehe•40m ago
> It should be noted that not all AI interviewers are created equal—there’s a wide range of AI interviewers entering the market.

Maybe someone will make an AI to interview the AI interviewers and see which one is the best? AI's interviewing human candidates gonna have to go through this thing.

I'm a big proponent of AI as a tool for work, but unless you have a perfect received pronunciation accent, voice chat is painful. It's as if the AI chatbots were trained on Radio 4 and not much else.
