    “Neurodivergent” had to have been a front runner for 2024 word of the year.

    Are you suggesting that autism and ADHD are not real conditions?

      Do you seriously believe that human review of a neurodivergent person’s strangely composed resume is going to be any better? Have you ever sat down with a stack of resumes in your life? Managers will toss them in seconds without even reading them in full - at least AI will do that.

      I think you’re just using neurodivergence as a way to take your miserably uninformed assumptions about how AI application review works, and legitimize them as a discrimination issue.

            I seriously believe a human can view a non-standard resume and make a better judgment about it than a machine. And yes, I have sat down with a stack of resumes. I used to own my own company. That’s exactly how I know someone with a resume that doesn’t fit the traditional template an AI might care about, especially if they have a flair for design, would get my attention as a good candidate.

            I also wouldn’t care if their name was Shonda or Muhammad. AIs, on the other hand, reject people with “ethnic” names.

            Happy now?

                Are you serious? You’ve never seen resume templates?

                Just Google the phrase “resume template” to see lots of them.

                What do you think AI is trained on when trained to look at resumes? How do you think it decides what is a good resume and a bad resume? Do you think it uses its reasoning abilities?

                Also: “Thanks for answering my questions.” You’re welcome.

      Not even sure why you’d even ask this as I never said any such thing. Of course ADHD and autism are real conditions.
