Job.com Hires Laurie Boschini as Head of R&D to Take On Gender Bias in AI
Summary
Boschini has broad expertise in the recruitment industry, with vast experience in search, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing. "Ive worked over fifteen years in this industry as a woman, Im well aware of the ways in which our progress is made more difficult by both overt and unconscious discrimination. Whether it be assumptions about our abilities or having to work twice as hard our male colleagues to get the same recognition, the clear differences along gender lines are still an underspoken problem in tech," says Boschini. "The problem in our industry is that its overwhelmingly male and as a result, the artificial intelligence we build to recruit people mirror – and maintain – this status quo," said Job.com CVO Arran Stewart. Job.coms powerful AI matching software brings candidates and employers together, eliminating the friction of a third party that can slow down or hinder the recruitment and hiring processes.
