Mya Systems (short for "my assistant") has developed an AI that can streamline the recruitment process in multiple ways, including approving resumes, garnering further information on candidates, asking pay-related follow up questions, and scheduling interviews. The AI chatbot — designed to work in tandem with humans rather than replacing them — has the potential to free up human recruiters and lessen the bureaucratic aspects of the hiring process. Its founder, Eyal Grayevesky, told CNN tech that "Recruiters are overwhelmed with so much work because they're doing boilerplate tasks."

Since its launch in 2016, the technology has already been adopted by Fortune 500 companies in banking, consulting and retail sectors: Mya's website reports that it has been phenomenally successful, averaging a 9.8 out of 10 on overall candidate experience, increasing recruiting output by 200%, and reducing overheads by 80%. An additional $11.8 million in funding, acquired earlier this week, may help Grayevesky achieve his goal of eliminating frictional employment — the market failure of a decrease in efficiency due to people being in between jobs.

    Java, javascript, C, C++, Python, Ruby, etc. Go to the head of the line. Actual documented experience in anything? Too old, fuck you.

    Why shouldn't we judge a book by it's cover? It's got the author, title, and a summary of what the book's about.

    You have it backwards, friend.

    (1) Too old? Fuck off.

    (2) Employment gap? Request copy of current resume. Current resume still has employment gap?? Fuck off.

    (3) GitHub? Not on GitHub? I have to download your code to see it?? Fuck the hell off.

    (4) GitHub profile contains forks of popular repos in Java, javascript, C, C++, Python, Ruby and your issue tracker chatter has replies!!! Yes yes you're a team coder!!! YOU'RE HIRED!!!!!!!!

    There's very little demand for people like me, but there are very few people like me.

    I'd rather write iPhone Apps but I have grey hair.
