Imagine if a company could figure out exactly how desperate you are for a job…
Then use AI to offer you the lowest salary they think you’ll accept.
That’s the idea behind wage surveillance.
Companies are collecting more data than ever before, from AI interviews and online activity to your location and personal information, all in an effort to make hiring cheaper. The less they think you’ll push back, the less they have to pay.
In this video, we’re talking about wage surveillance, AI interviews, personalized salary offers, why you should stop oversharing during the hiring process, and how companies are using your own data against you.
It’s not new, but you’re wrong about personal data not factoring in. Companies will absolutely try to low ball you if you’re unemployed, or offer you less if you volunteer your current salary, or offer you more if you’re getting other offers.
This new stuff is a problem because they’re going to end up colluding through software just like landlords and it should obviously be illegal but they’ll get away with it until people catch on and the law catches up, or forever depending on location.
