No worries! I anonymize data before submitting to employers, meaning that name and gender are removed. If I still do find employers who are blocking or favoriting based on discriminatory criteria, I can find these employers more easily so I can take action.
- danso 12y agoA. Great idea, and thank you for the long explanatory comment...for you to be a jobless psych grad in 2009 to be conceptualizing (and researching, and building!) something like this is quite remarkable, and you should be very proud of yourself. B. This particular comment thread is so fascinating, it deserves its own blog post someday. But I'll be flippant: if the idea of an OKCupid for Job Seekers is viable...then maybe there could be a Tinder for Job Seekers? But instead of the actual Tinder, the JobTinder omits the physical attributes (i.e. many of the protected attributes under job discrimination law) of the user, and instead, just shows important, "sexy" bullet points...like "Rails Dev, 4 years"...the Employer then does a swipe left/swipe right during their lunch break, and at the end of the hour, has a small stack of candidates that may be worth following up. Even having a better filter would be a win...and hell, if you make it fun, in the same way that Tinder feels more fun than OKCupid, HR people may just love it.
