Google AI Hiring System Warns Job Seekers: Don't Trust Our Filters

Google DeepMind's AGI Safety and Alignment Team is advising job applicants to bypass its internal AI hiring system by filling out a special form alongside their application. The team's concern is that the AI may incorrectly screen out or take too long to process applications, potentially missing qualified candidates.

The company markets its AI features as a way to save HR time and improve efficiency in the hiring process. However, some job seekers are using these systems to their advantage by gaming the filters or submitting multiple applications quickly.

Google DeepMind's spokesperson denied that the company's systems filter out applicants incorrectly, stating that the special form is set up to bypass recruiter review and get resumes directly to team members.
