In a surprising turn of events, several major corporations have turned to blue avatars as part of their hiring process. These avatars, created by Paradox.ai, are being used in personality quizzes by companies such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Citizens.
The personality quiz, which features more than 60 slides with blue avatars, claims to reveal Big 5 personality traits. However, many job applicants have found the presence of these blue avatars to be bizarre and even insulting.
Despite the backlash from applicants, companies are standing by their use of personality tests as a way to filter out candidates and streamline the hiring process. Critics argue that these tests only add more frustration to an already lengthy job application process.
Job applicants have taken to social media to express their frustration, with some even choosing to withdraw their applications due to the tests. This comes at a time when companies are facing a worker shortage but are still implementing these controversial personality tests.
The use of personality tests in the hiring process has sparked a heated debate, with experts suggesting that the hiring process has become longer and more demanding, leading to dissatisfaction among job seekers. This debate is shedding light on the challenges faced by both employers and job seekers in today’s labor market.
