The shortlist machine
A tool that auto-ranks applicants would save your recruiters days a week. It also decides who gets a shot at a job. How do you turn it on?
A growing company is drowning in applications. A vendor offers an AI tool that scores CVs and auto-rejects everyone below a cutoff, surfacing only the top slice to human recruiters. It’s fast, it’s cheap, and the demo is impressive. It’s also making consequential decisions about real people’s livelihoods, trained on the company’s own past hiring — which wasn’t exactly neutral.
The pressure to deploy is high and the time savings are real. How do you bring it in?
Open each choice to see what happens next — not just whether it's “right”.
