Google is quietly testing "Google Hire," a job applicant tracking system that appears to rival services like Greenhouse and Lever, Axios is reporting. From the report:

The service lets employers post job listings, then accept and manage applications, according to job listing links spotted by Axios reader Colin Heilbut. So far, several tech companies seem to be using (or testing) Google Hire, including Medisas, Poynt, DramaFever, SingleHop, and CoreOS.

This is EXACTLY why I am such a strong advocate of privacy.

When this is the ONLY way you can get a job, what you are and how you behave, well outside the simple paradigm of "right and wrong", and now "not right enough" or "not good enough", you're gonna get fucked. This allows Google to absolutely control a persons entire life. If what you are is deemed unsatisfactory to Google, you wont be working, and could very well lose your job to a robot. You wont be hired because of #1 web browsing / search history patterns, #2 medical history, #3 sexual history, #4 political history, #5 financial history, #6 employment history, as well as many other criteria not listed. The jobs you are offered when you apply should be based on skills and employment history. When you are judged and rejected for every other factor in your life, your odds of landing that dream job drop like a rock in water. That is especially true for most people on this site. Just showing an interest in Ron Paul is enough to be rejected. Having worked inside the MSM as a Master Control Operator (the asshole that interrupts your favorite tv show and plays commercials) for a number of years, I have personally seen reporters and journalists be fired for having said anything even remotely positive about Ron Paul. Do you still think that having a history of supporting Ron Paul and allowing Google to know too damn much about you will still not have any severely negative consequences on your life?

Whats the next step? When will you not be hired because Google knows you dont have perfectly healthy eating habits as deemed "healthy" by Big Pharma? When will you lose your job for being the wrong religion? You wont be hired if you are the wrong skin color / ethnicity in order to satisfy the legal requirements of Equal Opportunity Employment, which should read Unequal Opportunity if youre White. What happens to your life if you are found to have a genetic condition that you have zero control over and are disqualified based on that? What happens if your driving history which takes you through red zone areas of town and you have very little choice to avoid causes your job to be lost due to that risk being shouldered by the company for which you work / apply to work for?

This is an absolute endgame to self identity for, as George Carlin put it: "Obedient Workers". Those who do not question the deep problems inherit to the system are the ones who get the job. If you are here, you are most likely a thinker of some sort, and that in and of itself will cause you very nasty problems. The Google assigned identity of the Obedient Worker completely displaces any self identity to the point where your very desires and life goals are dictated by machine learning AI who maximize the yield of human harvesting. Would you be happy as a robot? You know damn good and well they are already gonna shit all over you. This just gives prospective employers even more opportunity to shit on everyone.

If you have no problems with this, then well be to you and I hope you find some degree in happiness by letting greedy corporations control every thought and emotion and goal and your entire life. If you have a problem with this, like me, then fight this elimination of not just privacy, but self identity tooth and nail as if your life depends on it, because in the end, it most likely will. If we as a species survive that long...

Now imagine for some reason this thing does not like you.

Very good, now dig deeper...

One of the things about eliminating privacy is the financial incentive for companies to "find something wrong". IE, too much bacon in your fridge, overbrush, etc. Doesnt matter what it is, there is a reward for taking any given subject and purposefully misinterpreting that data to find "something wrong", which will absolutely result in the "thing" in the first post "not liking you". Its just built that way.

A secret algorithm will identify those to be marginalized with long term underemployment or no employment at all.

And it will be found by the high courts to be perfectly legal.

Because, no doubt, you will have to agree to the terms of service.

Don't like it?

Go work somewhere else.

Even if there is no somewhere else.

Oh, for crying out loud. I wonder if that blowjob I got in the office supplies closet is still on my record. Who thinks of this stuff anyway? Can't get away with nothin anymore.

What is there to get away with? Paying out the ass for a college education that barely qualifies anyone to even work at Office Depot part time? What exactly are we getting away with? Not throwing money at rich people? I think that is really the big mistake, people still think "getting away with" infers we have done something wrong when in fact we have done absolutely nothing wrong and are found guilty of that anyway.

Anyhow, still reminds me of this video:

I applied for a part time AT&T job and I could tell they use some sort of automated algorithm to determine your worthiness.
