The article talked about mining employee data before they became employees and flagging potential new hires based on automated sentiment analysis. I don't have a problem with a company trying to find examples of employees representing the company poorly. I do have a problem with using automated system to classify people into fire and don't hire categories based on something as inexact as sentiment analysis. Any company should be terrified of using any kind of automated system like this to reject employees. If for whatever reason it starts kicking out a higher percentage of employees from a protected class, you open yourself up to huge lawsuits. Sentiment analysis is an art, and I'd be surprised if their algorithm didn't have different accuracy rates for different dialects.
