Every year banks like Goldman Sachs receive far more applicants than they could ever potentially meet. Historically there has also been a certain level of unconscious (and indeed conscious) bias that has limited those coming through each pool screening.
"Rather than sitting in front of an interviewer, students are asked to set up a webcam on their computer or phone. Questions pop up on the screen, and they are asked to make a video recording of their answers. Thousands of videos are then scanned by powerful algorithms that can pick up what kinds of words or phrases you are using, how concisely you present your arguments, and how confident you sound. Computer programmes using artificial intelligence (AI) can also detect “micro-expressions”, which could be how much you blink, smile or frown."

Results will be a commercial secret However this enables a wider initial application pool to be interviewed in a process that potentially minimises the risk of unconscious bias and could increase diversity in the workforce
