an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed “baseball” or “basketball” – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned “softball” – typically women – were downgraded.

    If you care about my appearance more than my ability to do the job I wouldn’t want to work with you anyway.

    I literally roll out of bed most mornings without looking in rhe mirror, walk up to my home office and start work. And I’m one of the best employees at my office.
