AI “hold harmless” clause for recruiting

For our company, but free to use AI to rewrite this for your own, or use it verbetamax.

This is to inform all candidates within listening range and to all the ships at sea that we use AI in our hiring process. Your input to us in the form of text, audio, and/or video — depending — will be fed through our precisely trained AI system or just regular ChatGPT if we don’t have enough GPU budget to tune weights to tell us how relevant you are to us. And we never have enough GPU budget. Heck, we don’t even know how to tune weights, or what this even means, to tell you the truth. If we feel particularly adventuresome, we will feed your information through Grok using the MS Edge browser, with Bing for internet data references. We won’t talk to you before this screening is done, because talking is a) time consuming, and b) borrring! Since we are a company of people who are, as we speak, being replace [sic] by AI, we feel it to be foolish to actually talk to people before screening them with our AI. Everyone knows that the small amount of data on a resume (really, a handful of kilobytes if it’s text) is fully representative of candidates as a person, especially if they have many years of difficult university study followed by many years of gainful employment and what we may call life in the world. We might occasionally get adventuresome and give you a pop quiz type test that is mis-named as a “technical interview,” so you can relive your college glory days, sans drinking watery beer from a keg of course, (dis)intermediated by red Solo cups. Go / State / U! And when we insist that a candidate go through a “1 way video interview process that may or may not be moderated by an LLM,” this is also completely representative of day to day work on a day to day basis, and so we will feed those megabytes of data to the LLM machines to tell us what it thinks. When we do have the time or inclination (usually neither of course) to custom RAG an AI for this process, we make sure that the person doing the RAG-ing has never done the job we are hiring for, to make it kind of a blind screen. After all, we don’t want the bias of experience to cloud our results. Thank you for applying to our company if you are the first twenty resumes we got, and, if you are not, well, we have decided to go in a different direction for this position if you know what we mean. Don’t call us, we’ll call you. Or text, rather, if you check the little checkbox that says it is okay for us to send you text messages.
