Debate Discussion

The eighth Debate Discussion assignment in this class relates to the HR Ethics box in Chapter 11 (p. 421):

HR Ethics: High-Tech Firms Collude to Limit Employee Pay

What compensation strategies would enable companies to attract and retain good employees without having to worry about bidding wars? How should the needs of employees be addressed in these strategies?

Your assignment is to 1) read the information in the box content, 2) answer these questions, 3) present/defend your ideas with thoughtful logic or relevant evidence, and 4) respond to at least two other students’ posts with other thoughtful analyses. Your posts should be comprehensive (multiple lengthy paragraphs), as well as concise and detailed.

Human Resource Management

/in

Recruiters are beginning to heavily use artificial intelligence (AI) and other smart technology recruiting tools in their jobs. One of the major selling points besides the fact that these programs save significant amounts of recruiter time is that artificial intelligence can make better decisions than human recruiters because of the lack of bias. However, most of the companies selling this software also note that AI programs are only as good as their programming.

Would you like AI to be used if you were applying for a job position? Why, or why not? How would you prepare your resume to ensure that, when AI is used, your resume if chosen?

Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No references or citations are necessary.
