Sounds wild but it’s true. It’s been proven in lawsuit against eightfoldAI. It’s an AI company that works in background of the job application process. You, the person applying for a role, cannot see it nor are you aware of its presence. It has collected your data through public networks, IP, search history, social media post, social media comments, and more. After you click “submit” for a role, the HR department will automatically filter out based on AI’s provided “user-score” from your collected data. If you have low score and you’re automatically denied by hiring team.
The AI grants you a score based on cultural fit, personality, learning ability etc. How does make this “score”? Based on your social media. All this happens without your consent or knowledge. Some top companies in the U.S/Canada use this AI software.
If you don’t get message yet; we now have a social credit system in this country. We already saw how certain statement being uttered (“free Palestine”) can get you expelled for university.
If you don’t believe here’s a good video on the issue:

The last thing I want is my employer to know my search history lol
Makes sense they are connected. In short social media companies are selling data to hiring sites. Funny thing is during covid and the height of “work sucks” I had a friend posting things there about the hiring companies (like workday) and his account was banned for life for posting pretty basic PG stuff on there. Crazy times.
