Have you considered the training process behind this algorithm?

The corporate landscape is currently immersed in discussions aimed at enhancing diversity within companies and optimizing hiring practices for greater efficiency and inclusivity, particularly in the screening and selection of candidates. A recurring inquiry in our presentations pertains to the use of sensitive data, and our unequivocal response is in the negative. At Rocketmat, our approach relies exclusively on competencies and skills extracted from candidates' resumes for matching analysis. It's important to underscore that there is no necessity for information such as zip codes, school names, document numbers, gender, or sexual orientation—only data that reflects an individual's professional and knowledge trajectory.

Yet, during business presentations, we've noted that fewer than 1% of companies express concern about comprehending how an algorithm is trained—how it contributes to decision-making. What prevails is a predominant inclination towards simplicity and cost-effectiveness, often opting for a standardized, plug-and-play solution for candidate screening. This prompts several pertinent technical questions:

• How can an algorithm be accurate if it lacks insight into an individual's trajectory and the characteristics valued and required by your company?
• If an algorithm is operational, where does the data originate?
• Were bias mitigation techniques factored into the training process?
• Was this algorithm trained with data from a direct competitor of my company?
• Are you familiar with the performance metrics of your algorithm?

Given the sensitivity of this matter, I'll be forthright in my position: if this model wasn't specifically trained for your needs, exercise caution in its utilization! The response must be straightforward, considering that we are dealing with people's livelihoods—individuals seeking employment out of necessity or a desire for professional advancement. Furthermore, companies bear fiduciary responsibilities to owners and investors, with objectives centered on operational continuity and expanding activities to sustain and increase employment.

In this ongoing journey, an aspect meriting discussion in another forum is the unreadiness of human resources data for Machine Learning. Efforts in terms of time and data volume are still required to translate human behaviors into measurable and continuous data, facilitating the consistent flow of mathematical models. The magnitude of this effort is comparable to teaching a machine the nuances of resilience or effective communication. I posit that we find ourselves at the scientific forefront of discovery and, with responsibility, can significantly contribute to advancing data in the HR field.

Within the Rocketmat context, our approach involves training a unique algorithm for each company, rendering the design process of mathematical models transparent to the client. In this framework, we can comprehend and mitigate sensitive points in hiring process data, thereby reducing biases and instilling confidence in following the algorithm's recommendations.

In conclusion, integrating AI into Talent Acquisition and Recruitment processes presents substantial benefits, enabling more precise decision-making within the business context. It is essential to underscore that AI should fulfill its role and gracefully step aside, allowing the final decision to rest with competent human resources professionals.
