In this first, full episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast, host Steven Rothberg of College Recruiter interviews Dr. Noelle Chesley, Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Sociology Studies at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee.

In the July 1, 2022 UWM Report, Dr. Chesley wrote about the pros and cons of automated hiring systems, which include applicant tracking systems (ATS), job boards, assessment sites, and video interviewing platforms. She identified four primary problems: (1) algorithms may not use the best criteria for matching; (2) using automated hiring systems can create problems at scale; (3) more recruiters want "purple squirrels"; and (4) automated hiring systems can lead to alientation. In today's podcast, Dr. Chesley describes and discussed each of these in a balanced, nonjudgmental manner. That a hiring system is automated is neither good nor bad, but how they're designed and used can lead to positive or negative outcomes for candidates, employers, and others.
