Pretty clever. It not only allows you to make a first cut of candidates without dragging them out for an interview, it also allows you to easily filter by gender, race, age without saying so. No more obfuscations in a resume for those items.
- kingsuper20 5y agoIt's a heckuva way to collect a lot of personal details though. Win win.

- TameAntelope 5y agoBest part of those laws is that if you end up with a discriminatory result, no matter how you got there, you're still violating the law.
- EvilEy3 5y agoAfter all, who doesn't love the smell of totalitarianism , where state decides who you hire, in the morning.
- kaiju0 5y agoA silhouette filter and a voice modulator would address that
- ffggvv 5y agoyou really think they’re going to do that?
- HomeDeLaPot 5y agoLike you couldn't already in the age of LinkedIn?
- ryandrake 5y agoYou don't have to include a profile picture in LinkedIn. That protects race and age. I suppose you could also replace your given name with an initial, protecting gender.
- kingsuper20 5y agoYou just know that some-smart-guy(tm) has written software to predict age/race/gender etc. from LinkedIn accounts. Step 2 is to write a tool that filters for that.
- HomeDeLaPot 5y agoTrue, but there is significant pressure to have a LinkedIn profile and fill it out completely. Employers and recruiters might prefer prospects that have a profile picture.
