A blind jobseeker says the recruitment process, including its use of AI, has made finding work harder. Willow Horner told the BBC she had made about 40 applications since completing an internship and secured one interview.
Why it mattersHer experience is a concrete reminder that automated hiring can raise accessibility questions, not just efficiency claims. The BBC report does not specify which AI tools she encountered or how they affected her applications, so it cannot establish that AI caused the outcome.
Discuss: Should employers have to show that AI hiring tools are accessible to disabled applicants, or is that too much to expect before the tools’ effects are clear?
