We have all experienced searching for a job. Online platforms have made it easier than ever to share your resume, but harder to stand out in the sea of applicants. AI plays a growing role for job seekers and hiring managers alike. Journalist and author Hilke Schellmann spent years diving into the impact of AI on who gets hired and moves up – or doesn’t – in writing her book “The Algorithm.” Schellmann joins Pioneers of AI to talk about how and why she began reporting on AI and jobs, how AI has changed hiring, and how job seekers even leverage AI to give them an edge.

Pioneers of AI is made possible with support from Inflection AI.
