Hiring Algorithms: AI Screening Silently Discards Resumes
Corporate human resource departments have widely adopted automated resume parsers and AI video-interview analysis tools to screen job applicants. Journalistic investigations into these algorithmic recruitment tools have uncovered systemic biases that automatically downgrade candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds, career gaps, or regional accents.
The Bharat Media Association highlights the urgent need for labor-focused algorithmic scrutiny. Exposing the discriminatory code embedded in automated hiring software protects job seekers from invisible corporate bias, forcing employers to maintain transparency and human accountability throughout digital hiring workflows.
