Train for what? What data is there except for resumes and advertisements?
They’ll probably sell a hirability model based on your resume and similar ones with jobs
This, and I predict it will
-
(Work and) sell exceptionally well, since the data is definitely more curated than on other platforms
-
Fuck up the job market even further somehow
The fuck up the job market is totally going to be for new grads and people who had to take medical leave or care for a loved one or even took parental leave.
But I look forward to whatever other fucked up issues it creates. I’m sure it will be awful.
-
