will also be impacted, indicating that hiring will slow down compared to the aggressive staffing over the last several years. Although the number seems high, it represents 1% of Amazon's more than 1.5 million workers, including hourly warehouse employees.
This won’t be a one-and-done. In addition to the layoffs announced Wednesday by Dave Limp, senior vice president of devices and services at Amazon, there are numerous ways that the online retailer and other tech companies lighten their headcount. While most firms will deny that they use these strategies, tech workers
that people are let go or pushed out the door through stack rankings, regretted and unregretted attrition, performance improvement plans and continuous rounds of downsizings.Despite assurances that AI won’t have inherent biases, there is no guarantee that it will not occur. The algorithms are designed and built by humans who may possess their own conscious or unconscious biases.
Moreover, humans are not software code. AI may not be able to detect a job hunter’s personality, passion and lived experiences. Candidates are not products, and everyone has their own unique story. There will be issues that will require human intervention. If a person was downsized and out of work for an extended period, took maternity or paternity leave or switched jobs several times because of impending layoffs, it would be beneficial for a recruiter to get involved and have a one-on-one conversation. If Amazon strictly hires people based on their similarities to current employees, the eCommerce giant runs the risk of creating a bubble of homogeneity, which will bar applicants who don’t fit exactly into the mold, but have a lot to offer.
Recruiters dont have much intelligence to begin with but AI is definitely not an improvement.
Same AI that failed miserably in predicting FIFA 2022 winners😂😂😂
Said this already knew it would happen long time ago once upon a time lol
