AI Hiring Is Worse Than You Think

The Secret AI Score That Is Blocking You From Getting A Job

Did you know you might have a secret "employability score" that you can’t see, can’t fix, and that follows you everywhere? A massive new class-action lawsuit against Eightfold AI has exposed a dystopian hiring practice used by major companies like Starbucks, Microsoft, and PayPal.

These AI systems are harvesting millions of data points about your life—your spending habits, where you live, your online activity, and even predictions about your personality and future health, to decide if you deserve a job. It’s basically a Social Credit System for the American workforce, and it is rejecting qualified candidates in the middle of the night without human review.

In this video, I break down the lawsuit, explain exactly how this "Black Box" hiring system works, and discuss the terrifying reality of mass surveillance in the job market. If you’ve ever wondered why job rejections feel random or why your applications disappear into a black hole, this video explains what’s really happening behind the scenes.
