Recruitment in a Digitised World with Cathryn Barnard

The BBC 3 programme, Computer Says No (may not be available in your country due to copyright) explores the use of algorithm and computer-automated hiring. The automated process could be used to screen CVs and even conduct video interviews. In one example, the programme also looks into the alleged use of automated systems in letting people go.

Questions raised by the programme include the impact on accuracy – and therefore the decisions taken by the systems - of race, gender, emotion, and regional UK accents.

So what’s wrong with traditional recruitment processes and how might we see recruitment evolve in the future? To discuss this question, I am delighted to welcome back Director and Co-Founder of Working the Future, Cat Barnard to the podcast.
