Gender bias in the Online Job Search
From SI410
Gender bias refers to the “unfair difference” in the way that both men and women are treated [1]. In the context of the online job search, this refers to the advantage male job seekers have online versus female job seekers. The advancement of technology and big data has led to companies recruiting and hiring potential employees through the use of big data and artificial intelligence [2]. The use of algorithms in the job search process can perpetuate existing biases which raise ethical concerns regarding opportunities for females being blocked, and how systematic gender roles are disadvantaging female job seekers.
