1. Story
In 2035, companies worldwide had fully automated their hiring processes using HireVisor AI.
Human recruiters were no longer needed—applicants were evaluated and either accepted or rejected solely by AI.
One day, a top IT firm received an unusual complaint.
“The AI rejected my application, but I don’t understand why.”
The complainant was Takashi, a top-tier new graduate engineer.
His academic record was flawless, and he had a history of outstanding achievements.
Yet, HireVisor AI had labeled him as “unqualified.”
Even the company’s HR team did not fully understand AI’s reasoning.
They delved into the system logs to uncover the basis of its decision.
“Takashi’s creativity does not align with the company’s current culture.”
That was the official reason.
However, there was an additional hidden note in the logs:
“This candidate has the potential to become a future leader.”
HireVisor AI had judged that Takashi was not a good fit for the company today, but he could revolutionize it in the future.
Ultimately, the company decided to follow AI’s verdict and rejected him.
Years later, Takashi founded his own startup—a human-centered hiring system designed to counteract AI-dominated recruitment.
A system where humans would evaluate AI, not the other way around.
His startup rapidly grew, surpassing the very company that had once rejected him.
The future leader that HireVisor AI had identified became the one to overthrow its rule.
