S4, E172 - The Job Hunt Dilemma: Navigating an Evolving Landscape of Privacy and Equity

This week on Privacy Please... In recent years, job hunting has become increasingly difficult, with extended hiring timelines and demanding application processes. Employers, who were once eager to hire, now subject candidates to grueling rounds of interviews. Even with temporary relief during the pandemic, the job market remains challenging, leaving job seekers frustrated and facing uncertainty.

Amidst these challenges, job seekers are also facing privacy concerns. The proliferation of one-way video interviews, necessitated by the pandemic's limitations on in-person interactions, has given rise to the collection of vast amounts of personal data. Moreover, the involvement of multiple stakeholders in the hiring process, as companies prioritize equity and inclusion, raises questions about the privacy and security of candidates' sensitive information.
