I'm the OP of the Reddit thread and have no qualms about sharing more info here on HN. I applied for a position at bunq (https://www.bunq.com/ https://www.bunq.com/), and the service they wanted me to use was Neurolytics (https://neurolytics.ai/ https://neurolytics.ai/) to proceed with the application. Things I found particularly troubling: Quoting from [1]: -- The Cultural Fit scan The cultural fit scan empowers you and the hiring company to see how well you’re a match with the companies value and culture. The scan consists for two parts: Watching a company video (~2 min.) As you’re watching the video, your webcam is recording. Our smart technology can analyze your behavioral qualities to measure your engagement levels with the various messages in the video. -- And -- To learn more about your cognitive abilities, you’ll be taking a 10 minute timed questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 4 types of questions: - General Knowledge - Logical reasoning - Numerical reasoning - Verbal reasoning As you’re taking the questionnaire, you’re being recorded. The scores of this questionnaire, will tell the recruiter more about your stress resilience and your ease under pressure. -- Not only does this strike me as pure BS from an analytical/scientific POV, it's also just troubling that they expect anyone to be okay with something as insane as this - especially since they keep talking about "valuing privacy and fairness for every applicant" ([2], under "Automated Decision Making & Fairness") ("No hidden biases, no guesswork").
