If a company requires you to re-apply for the job you already have, you lost your job long before you ever recorded yourself with HireVue.

These kinds of tools can easily just be the fall guy. An excuse they use to get rid of you. Then if you complain, they can just be like "the AI did it!"

Suddenly, viciously reminded of that quote: "If a machine cannot be held accountable, it cannot be allowed to make a management decision" (paraphrased)

...should prooooobably start legislating that shit

Just like return to office, relocations, and the overwhelming majority of performance metrics.

Cheap excuses for shit managers that can't or won't handle their employees (and firing of them) properly.

BTDT, and seen it a number of times with other tools.
