If you’ve applied for a job lately, it’s all but guaranteed that your application was reviewed by software, in most cases, before a human ever laid eyes on it. This is a thread about episode one of our four-part investigation into the world of automated hiring.
In the first podcast episode of this series, we speak with the CEOs of @ZipRecruiter and @CareerBuilder, and one of the architects of @LinkedIn’s algorithmic job-matching system, to explore how AI is increasingly playing job matchmaker. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hir…

Thanks to job sites like LinkedIn and ZipRecruiter, these large companies are drowning in millions of job applications a year. They need a solution that scales.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
