☆ These subtle mistakes are dead giveaways that an applicant used AI to write their job application, according to this CEO
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-22 | by ( Tess Martinelli | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

She says that sometimes using AI to complete an application isn't a big deal. Since joining Applied in 2018, I've reviewed thousands of applicants' skill-based test answers, and I've noticed multiple subtleties that indicate AI was used. Beyond that, using AI can also strip an application of personality and diminish an applicant's ability to set themself apart among potentially thousands of other applicants. They may not mind the use of AI, or they might discard an applicant entirely if there is even suspicion that AI was used. AI isn't going anywhere, so use it to your advantageI believe that AI will continue to be used in applications.

The charges made public Tuesday against the official, Ruhollah Bazghandi, are the first to accuse an Iranian government official by name in the alleged plot to kill journalist Masih Alinejad.

Taher, in turn, communicated about the plot defendants Hossein Sedighi and Mohammad Forouzan, prosecutors say, including about payment for the murder.

In Los Angeles public schools, transgender students have equal access to facilities like bathrooms. Smaller amounts of federal money could also be withheld through presidential executive action. Still, Mr. Carvalho said he had no plans to rethink the district’s policy on gender identity, even if Mr. Trump is elected. The money contributes to the salaries of teachers, which can help lower class sizes in schools where students are struggling academically, Mr. Carvalho said. For some disabled students, federal dollars support personal aides who attend class alongside them.

☆ 5 questions leaders face when adopting AI in hiring — and the solutions
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-21 | by ( ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

During a recent Indeed Leadership Connect cohort, where like-minded TA leaders come together to share challenges and solutions, AI technology in recruiting was the main topic. How do hiring professionals respond to job candidates who are also using AI? When using AI tools to generate external-facing content, always include human oversight to mitigate the risk of irrelevant or biased content. This still saves time versus starting from scratch — and the more you use AI technology, the smarter it becomes. Key takeaways: Think beyond automation with AI; use the efficiency gains to rethink parts of your hiring process.

That changed in 2023, when Texas went 12-2 in coach Steve Sarkisian’s third season and appeared in the College Football Playoff for the first time. Like Texas, Georgia spent much of the last 30 years boasting a past national championship and a campus in a recruiting-rich part of the country, with little modern success to show for it. The quarterback of the Bulldogs’ back-to-back championship teams was not a former high-star recruit but he did grow up in Georgia. In the decade before Sarkisian’s hiring, Texas recruiting classes finished with an average rank of 10.8 in the country; in three recruiting classes under Sarkisian, Texas has averaged a ranking of 4.6. In the eyes of Texas fans, the Longhorns won’t qualify as fully back until they win the program’s first football national championship since 2006.
