HR tools have been found to make rash, negative judgements on applicants who have Black-sounding names, prefer men, or skip over candidates who don’t check every box or have employment gaps on their résumés. And as more generative tools are built into the systems they use, recruiters are still learning where AI works and doesn’t in the process, says Leanne Getz, vice president of delivery channels at IT staffing firm Experis.
