New Study Proves That The Job Market Is Rigged?

Summary: The job market was already rigged. Now, according to Dr. Jim, corporate America has found a way to automate the cheating.In this episode, Dr. Jim reacts to the Stanford study Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring, arguing that algorithmic screening platforms are not just neutral tools making hiring faster. They are invisible gatekeepers rejecting workers at scale, reinforcing racial disparities, and forcing job seekers to apply over and over again just to get the same basic shot at a conversation.The core warning: when the same types of algorithms sit behind multiple hiring systems, workers are not getting more chances. They are getting the same rejection in different wrappers.
