The recruitment situation has high stakes both for the potential new employer and candidates. This article highlights the technology-led transformation occurring in organization’s recruitment processes and argues that more attention is needed to assess how far these systems actually widen the applicant pool, or whether they mask the replication of previous discriminatory practices. It raises questions about the transparency of the process, and the accountability of recruiters to applicants noting the procedural and distributive justice implications of these changes.
