Policy to govern the use of AI in hiring is emerging in multiple jurisdictions through multiple policy domains. We need more independent empirical research: even with our work, we know so little about what happens in practice in spite of hiring AI being pervasive.

The hiring AI we study is an algorithmic monoculture: similar systems built by the same vendor mediate decisions at many different employers. In prior work, we conjectured this homogenizes outcomes: applicants might get recommended/rejected everywhere due to the shared AI tool

AI is changing how employers hire workers. Today we are publishing our research over the past four years into this high-stakes application of AI. We independently studied the impacts of deployed AI hiring tools based on the real outcomes for 3.3 million people.

The only students I'm failing are ones with fully fabricated quotes (including, in reflections, those supposedly quoted from their own writing!). Each sent an LLM-generated email to dispute. I explained my reasoning, + offered a Zoom to demonstrate subject mastery. One accepted.
