Dangers of using LLMs to rank and even select candidates | ep107

Today’s episode of the Inside Job Boards and Recruitment Marketplaces Podcast features not just one, but two superb guests: Robert Newry, chief explorer at Arctic Shores, and Martyn Redstone, founder of Eunomia HR.

Our regular cohost, Peter M. Zollman of AIM Group (Marketplaces / Classifieds), was unavailable but will be back with us in two weeks. Our other cohost, Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter job search site, discussed with Robert and Martyn how the use of some kinds of artificial intelligence (AI) in the hiring process is a good thing, but that the use of large language models such as ChatGPT, Google‘s Gemini, Anthropic, Grok, and others pose great dangers for employers.

Why? First, even if there weren’t legal issues, they don’t work well. They’re good tools, but not well suited to that task. Second, despite what some of the TA tech vendors would like us all to believe, there are massive legal issues.
