I recently read a thought-provoking article in The Manila Times entitled “Filipinos should pay more attention to reputation management”* that argues that there needs to be more reputation awareness. It struck a chord with me because we recently shared content about building your brand in order to secure a great job. While “brand” and “reputation” are closely related, they aren’t the same.

What AI Screening is and isn’t, who benefits and who is disadvantaged?
In this 2-part series, we explain the role AI screening plays for job hunters and recruiters, and how to make sure you don’t fall victim to a flawed system when applying for a role.
At Yempo, we implemented AI resume screening to prioritise which applicants we should review first. Using the data from our 10 years of operation, we have been able to score applicants based on previous assessments and by comparing skillsets in their CV to the minimum requirements of the role. Using this data, we can assign an applicant a number from 1-100 which allows the recruitment team to sort and prioritise which applicants will be reviewed first. Note that we do not arbitrarily reject anyone.
