A Shadow Résumé You’ll Never See
AERI (AI Employment Regulations Initiative) https://aerinetwork.bettermode.io/
If you were to #FOIA your #digitalemployment profile today, here’s what you might find:
-A job title you never held
-A school you never attended (but visited once for a seminar)
-A “likely residence” based on your cousin’s address
-A Twitter account you liked three times, used to infer political affinity
-A ‘career trajectory risk’ due to a year spent caregiving
You’ll never see this file. You’ll only see the consequences of it—when you don’t get called back, when your résumé vanishes into the ATS void, when your score falls below the hiring threshold.
#Digital Body Doubled. Ghostwritten by #algorithms. You’ve been duplicated in databases. You’ve been scored by systems built to optimize—not to understand.
Language Models and the Rise of Predictive Profiling
“They called it ‘persona synthesis.’ But all I saw was a #machine deciding who I was, based on guesses.”
Modern #hiring #platforms are no longer just tracking what you say—they’re interpreting how you say it, when you say it, and what it “suggests” about your #personality, #workethic, and #mentalhealth.
Using large language models (#LLMs), natural language processing (#NLP), and #machinelearning classifiers, #jobcandidate #data is being transformed into a behavioral and psychological #profile—one built without your knowledge, without your input, and your awareness. Until now.
How It Works: Persona Synthesis via LLMs
Let’s break it down. Once scraped or uploaded, your data is run through an LLM/NLP engine that performs the following steps:
Entity Extraction – Pulling your name, employers, job titles, school, location, and dates.
Sentiment Analysis – Detecting tone in your blog posts, cover letters, or even Slack messages.
Psychometric Inference – Mapping text to traits like agreeableness, openness, or conscientiousness using frameworks like OCEAN.
Trajectory Forecasting – Predicting your future performance based on your writing style, gaps, job hops, and metadata.
Cultural Fit Score – Comparing your profile to internal “top performers” and organizational values.
Each layer adds another layer of fiction to your shadow résumé—except this one carries real-world consequences.
Stand against the #scam that is destroying lives. Experimental #AI does not belong in #software that determines #livelihoods
