    宣战职场骚扰!谷歌员工要求科技公司取消强制仲裁 就在今天,一群来自谷歌的员工们联合利用社交网络Instagram和Twitter向多家科技公司施压,要求它们改变与科技行业中职场骚扰(workplace harassment)相关的一系列态度与做法。 此次抗议活动的目的,旨在突显企业使用强制仲裁协议存在的问题。强制仲裁协议是一项隐藏在劳动合同中的常见条款,剥夺了工人就工作场所问题向雇主提起诉讼的权利。虽然像谷歌这样的几家科技公司最近停止了性骚扰和性侵犯的相关做法,但许多科技公司仍然在使用和实施这种强制仲裁协议来处理其他一些与工作场所相关的问题,例如宗教或种族歧视。 研究表明,相较于正常诉讼流程来说,雇员在仲裁案件中胜诉的可能性较小。即使他们在仲裁中获胜,他们得到的钱通常也比通过正常诉讼得到的要少一些。 这次抗议活动标志着科技行业的员工们正在进一步谋求自身的合法权益,他们正在更多且更积极地参与到公开批评行业潜规则的行动当中,越来越多的员工敢于表达自己对于职场不公平现象的不满。多年以来,我们频繁地看到科技行业中有关女性就业和少数族裔就业存在的歧视问题,很多统计数据也表明这种行业歧视真实地存在着。这次抗议活动的支持者认为,取消强制仲裁协议是创造一种公平的工作环境以及企业文化的第一步,而公平公正的企业文化有助于缓解科技行业存在的歧视和差异。 从美国东部时间周二上午9点到下午6点,此次抗议活动的组织者们计划以小时为单位在Twitter上分享有关强制仲裁的残酷事实,每半小时就会在Instagram上更新员工的证词和对专家的采访实录。 去年11月,超过2万人次的谷歌员工以罢工的形式抗议该公司对性骚扰案件的处理方式,同时以取消强制仲裁作为他们的主要诉求。罢工结束不久之后,谷歌宣布将改变相关政策,停止在性骚扰和性侵犯案件中强制执行这一做法。随后,其他几家大型科技公司也纷纷效仿。 然而,这场运动背后的领导人表示,这些成果还远远不够,因为针对其他非性别性质的工作场所骚扰和歧视问题的强制仲裁仍然存在。许多大型科技公司还要求员工放弃集体诉讼的权利,这阻止了员工联合起来分担法律成本。 作为这次抗议活动的一部分,该组织还研究了大约30家主要科技公司和10家科技巨头外包雇员最大供应商的聘用合同。该组织表示,没有一家科技公司满足保护员工因工作场所问题对公司提起法律诉讼的基本标准。 原文来源:猎云网

    ZipRecruiter完成1.56亿美元 B轮融资,用于加大技术投入与移动应用 2018.12.4 ZipRecruiter宣布了一项1.56亿美元的投资,由惠灵顿管理公司(Wellington Management Company)和投资者IVP共同牵头,并包括其他现有投资者的参与。 B轮融资将进一步加速该公司的持续增长,以及它正在进行的对人工智能(AI)匹配技术和移动应用的投资,以积极连接更多的求职者和各种规模的企业。 自2010年推出以来,ZipRecruiter已帮助150多万家企业(从中小企业到《财富》500强企业)找到了优秀的人才,并收到了超过4.3亿份求职申请,从管理人员、卡车司机到数据科学家和自动汽车工程师。公司的人工智能技术已经非常熟练做出有意义的比赛,80%的雇主在ZipRecruiter发布工作得到高质量的候选人通过这个网站在第一天和大多数求职者收到通知,他们的应用程序已经被招聘经理后48小时内他们提交简历。 ZipRecruiter联合创始人兼首席执行官伊恩•西格尔(Ian Siegel)表示:“人工智能的崛起改变了雇主招聘人才和求职者找工作的方式。”ZipRecruiter是最受欢迎的职位发布解决方案,也是最受求职者欢迎的在线求职应用。这笔资金将用来加倍利用我们在市场上领先的技术优势。ZipRecruiter正在引领一个智能招聘的时代。 ZipRecruiter的人工智能算法可以了解每个雇主在寻找什么,并提供一组个性化的、精心策划的高度相关的候选人。在市场的另一边,该公司的技术根据职位头衔以外的因素将求职者与工作联系起来,这将向他们介绍更多他们可能感兴趣的行业和机会类型。 “在一个紧张且不断变化的劳动力市场,企业现在比以往任何时候都更需要有效、创新的招聘解决方案,”IVP的普通合伙人埃里克•刘(Eric Liaw)表示。ZipRecruiter以一种必不可少的、不可否认的方式实现了招聘体验的现代化。他们对人工智能技术的精密应用使他们成为该领域最重要的平台,推动了数以百万计的就业配对——他们真的准备成为下一个互联网市场的成功故事。该业务的增长是惊人的,我们很高兴与该公司加深合作关系,因为他们将继续改善求职者和各种规模雇主的生活。 迄今为止,ZipRecruiter总共筹集了2.19亿美元资金,其中包括2014年8月由IVP牵头的6300万美元a轮融资。该公司的员工基础从过去四年的150人增加到近1000人,目前在美国设有办事处、英国,和以色列。   以上由有道翻译支持完成,仅供参考(请注意,这是一个稍早时间的融资新闻) A轮融资6300万美元,那个时候还是2014年: http://www.hrtechchina.com/3235.html   原文:ZipRecruiter Raises $156 Million in Funding to Transform Hiring and Job Search

    为什么2019年人才获取从数据驱动转向智能驱动 从历史上看,人力资源行业充满了时间密集型任务,确定最佳候选人并协调他们的面试和筛选过程。一项研究发现2017年的租用时间平均为  23.8天,自2010年以来增加了13天,因为市场越来越拥挤。 人工智能驱动的技术开辟了几乎无限的可能性,2019年将成为数千个行业创新和高度采用的一年。人力资源,招聘和人才获取也不例外,随着人工智能(AI)的普及变得无处不在,人们将大大受益。 来年将会看到大量的人力资源团队严重依赖人工智能和机器学习(ML)来处理人才获取方面的大部分幕后工作。由于这种转变,招聘人员将有能力和时间与更高层次的顶级候选人建立牢固的关系,而不是在一天的大部分时间里研究和挖掘大量的简历和简介。 本文作者Steven Jiang  CEO and Co-Founder of Hiretual AI和机器学习支持的人才招聘 我相信,我们将在2019年见证的最激动人心的转变之一就是人工智能领导着从数据驱动到智能驱动的招聘变革。事实上, 在一项调查中,42%的高管认为人工智能在未来两年内至关重要。 由于AI和ML和他们难以置信的收集和整理直观的信息,缩短了时间,洞察能力的强大力量,人力资源专家将花费更少的时间筛选,通过数据和更多的时间采取行动就可以了。 目前,这需要通过在现有系统中采用和部署AI引擎,从公司现有的人才获取(TA)系统和技术堆栈进行根本性的变更和升级。随着人工智能的加强,人力资源工作变得更加积极主动,整个工作流程和流程将得到重塑。随着TA团队的重新培训和流程的重新定义,新的一年将为基础设施,软件和运营带来升级。 人工智能技术还将发展招聘人员和候选人与采购流程的关系。组织将采用相同的AI技术来处理主动求职者和被动求职者管道。由于2019年预计会有很高的采用率,我还预计公司会聘请更多的技术架构师来帮助设计和构建可扩展的HR堆栈。人工智能将占据中心舞台,人们将在明年更加了解它,他们将被迫做,以确保他们找到并取得持续的成功。 提高候选人参与度   在接下来的12个月里,更多的人力资源和招聘团队将挥手告别许多繁琐的任务,这些任务历史上占据了宝贵的一天,占用了大量的时间。取而代之的是加速人才获取过程的工具和平台。这将是广泛采用增强采购,写作和参与技术的一年。 随着采购和寻找主动和被动候选人变得更有效率,我们将看到注意力从采购转移到流程的下一阶段,鼓励潜在员工与招聘人员交谈,也称为“提高候选人参与度”。  人工智能简化招聘流程的能力 - 特别是采购和过滤候选人的初始阶段 - 将使人力资源团队能够花时间处理更有价值的任务,例如了解简历或在线档案背后的人。 改善候选人的体验 由于前所未有的技术见解和能力,招聘方法已经非常直观,并将继续变得更加直观。随着越来越多的流程开始自我照顾,候选人的体验将提升到一个新的水平。候选人在申请和表达对职位的兴趣时,会有更好,更全面的经验。等待招聘人员亲自联系每位候选人并提供必要信息以便简单地继续申请流程的下一步的日子(和周)已经一去不复返了。 通过先进的配对和采购技术,候选人将获得更多相关和细致入微的工作建议和机会,而招聘人员将从与手头工作的最佳候选人匹配中受益。一旦候选人找到他们感兴趣的工作,技术也将在该流程的下一阶段发挥作用。 人工智能的聊天机器人和调度机器人将使候选人能够提出问题并实时回答。Chatbots将继续整合到公司的网站中,让人力资源团队成员能够处理更紧迫和复杂的请求,并有时间在招聘过程中发挥更加深思熟虑的作用。Chatbots可以完整地引导申请人完成申请流程,引导候选人从一个页面到另一个页面,以确保准确性和完整性。我们还将看到AI匹配技术蓬勃发展。 新的一年将带来改进的实践,无与伦比的候选人和招聘人员经验以及人力资源行业十年来所采用的最高技术水平。求职者和招聘人员都会感受到AI和ML的影响。候选人的经验将继续现代化,允许公司像对待客户一样对待他们的申请人,同时让招聘人员有更多的时间和精力投入到招聘的人性方面:与有才能的候选人交往。那些在2019年接受人工智能的公司将把他们的人才招聘团队提升到一个新的水平。 以上由AI翻译完成,仅供参考。 经授权发布。 Why 2019 Will Be The Year Talent Acquisition Moves From Data-Driven To Intelligence-Driven   Historically, the human resources industry has been fraught with time-intensive tasks, identifying the top candidates and coordinating their interview and screening processes. One study found that the time to hire in 2017 was, on average, 23.8 days, an increase of 13 days since 2010 as the marketplace has grown ever more crowded. Artificial intelligence-powered technology opens up nearly limitless possibilities, and 2019 is poised to be a year of innovation and high adoption across thousands of industries. HR, recruiting and talent acquisition are no exception and will benefit greatly as the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more ubiquitous. The coming year will see vast amounts of HR teams relying heavily on AI and machine learning (ML) to take care of much of the behind-the-scenes work that goes into talent acquisition. Thanks to this shift, recruiters will have the ability and time to engage with and build strong relationships with their top candidates on a deeper level — instead of studying and digging through a huge quantity of resumes and profiles for a significant part of the day. Talent Acquisition Powered By AI And Machine Learning I believe one of the most exciting shifts we will witness in 2019 is AI leading the change in recruiting from data-driven to intelligence-driven. In fact, 42% of executives in one survey believe AI will be of critical importance within the next two years. Thanks to the powerful forces of AI and ML and their incredible ability to gather and sort information intuitively and shorten the time to insights, HR specialists will spend less time sifting through data and more time acting on it. For the moment, this will require fundamental changes and upgrades from a company’s existing talent acquisition (TA) system and tech stacks by adopting and deploying an AI engine into their existing systems. The whole workflow and process will be reshaped as HR efforts become dramatically more proactive as they are enhanced by AI. The new year will bring upgrades to infrastructure, software and operations as TA teams are retrained and processes redefined.   AI technology will also evolve both the recruiter's and candidate's relationships with the sourcing process. Organizations will enlist the same AI technologies to handle both active-job-seeker and passive-job-seeker pipelines. Because of the high levels of adoption anticipated in 2019, I also foresee companies hiring significantly more technical architects to help design and build scalable HR stacks. AI will take center stage and people will become much more knowledgeable about it in the coming year, which they will be forced to do in order to ensure they find and achieve ongoing success. Heightened Candidate Engagement   In the next 12 months, more HR and recruiting teams will wave goodbye to many of the tedious tasks that have historically occupied a significant amount of their valuable day and eaten up too much of their time. In their place will be tools and platforms to accelerate the talent acquisition process. It will be a year of widespread adoption of augmented sourcing and writing and engagement technologies. As sourcing and finding proactive and passive candidates becomes more efficient, we will see a shift in attention from sourcing to the next phase of the process, encouraging potential employees to talk to recruiters, also known as "heightened candidate engagement." The ability of AI to streamline the hiring process — especially the beginning stages of sourcing and filtering candidates — will allow HR teams to spend time on more valuable tasks like getting to know the person behind the resume or online profile. Improving The Candidate Experience Thanks to unprecedented technological insights and abilities, recruiting methods are already highly intuitive and will continue to become even more so. As more and more processes start to take care of themselves, the candidate experience will rise to the next level. Candidates will have better, more comprehensive experiences as they apply for and express interest in positions. Gone are the days (and weeks) of waiting for recruiters to personally contact each candidate with the necessary information to simply move forward with the next step in the application process. Through advanced matching and sourcing technology, candidates will receive more relevant and nuanced job suggestions and opportunities, while recruiters will benefit from being matched with the best candidates for the job at hand. Once candidates find jobs in which they’re interested, technology will play a part in the next stages of the process as well. AI-powered chatbots and scheduling bots will enable candidates to ask questions and have them answered in real time. Chatbots will continue to be integrated into a company’s website, freeing HR team members to handle more pressing and complicated requests and have time to play an even more thoughtful role in the hiring process. Chatbots can lead applicants through the application process in its entirety, guiding the candidate from page to page to ensure accuracy and completeness. We will also see AI-matching technology flourish. The new year will bring improved practice, unparalleled candidate and recruiter experiences and some of the highest levels of technology adoption the HR industry has seen in a decade. The impact of AI and ML will be felt by job candidates and recruiters alike. The candidate experience will continue to modernize, allowing companies to treat their applicants like customers, while giving recruiters more time and energy to devote to the human side of recruiting: engaging with talented candidates. Companies that embrace AI in 2019 will take their talent acquisition team to the next level.

    AI: Salesforce正在招聘其首位首席道德和人道使用官员,以确保其人工智能不被用于邪恶 Salesforce将雇用Paula Goldman作为其首位首席道德和人道使用官员。 Goldman将率先成立一个新的道德和人道使用办公室,该办公室致力于制定在公司以道德和人道的方式使用技术的战略。 这一消息是在硅谷抗议公司(包括Salesforce)如何使用其技术的一年中发布的,因为科技工作者正在抗议与美国军方和移民当局的交易。 在关于科技公司如何无益使用人工智能的争议中,Salesforce即将聘请其首位首席道德和人道使用官员。 周一,Salesforce宣布将聘请Paula Goldman领导其新的道德和人道使用办公室,并将于1月7日正式启动。该办公室将专注于制定在Salesforce以道德和人道方式使用技术的战略。 “多年来,我一直钦佩Salesforce作为道德业务的领导者,”Paula Goldman在一份声明中说道,“作为一个行业,我们正处于一个重要的转折点,我很高兴能与这个团队合作制定一条道路向前。” 随着新的道德和人道使用办公室的发展,Salesforce计划将法律,政策和道德合并,以道德的方式开发产品。这一点尤其值得注意,因为Salesforce本身因其与美国海关和边境保护局签订的合同而受到其员工的抨击。 “我们理解,我们对社会负有更广泛的责任,并渴望创造技术,不仅能推动客户的成功,还能推动积极的社会变革,造福人类,”Salesforce的道德与人道使用办公室表示。   Goldman将向首席平等官Tony Prophet汇报工作。 在Salesforce之前,Goldman曾担任Omidyar Network的全球领导,技术和社会解决方案实验室的副总裁,这是一家社交影响投资公司,由eBay创始人Pierre Omidyar创办。 她还曾在Salesforce的道德和人道使用办公室咨询委员会任职,该委员会包括行业专家和学者。该委员会的重点是如何以道德的方式建立技术。 “与Paula一起担任顾问委员会成员,她对于真正复杂问题的出色领导和深思熟虑的方法给我留下了深刻的印象,”Salesforce首席平等官员Tony Prophet在一份声明中感到悲伤。“我相信Paula是引导我们进入Salesforce下一章的合适人选。” Paula Goldman还是国际妇女博物馆项目Imagining Ourselves的创始人和董事。她曾获得Anita Borg妇女与技术研究所颁发的社会影响奖,以及美国博物馆协会颁发的Muse奖。 然而,她将面临一个艰难的挑战,因为她在硅谷道德的日益阴暗的世界中航行,因为Salesforce本身被吸引到关于使用技术的正确和错误方式的争论中。 Salesforce受到了抨击 在硅谷,员工和活动家继续抗议科技巨头使用人工智能和其他可能用于不道德目的的技术。 例如,在Google,数千名员工签署了一份请愿书 - 有些甚至辞职 - 超过了Project Maven,这是与国防部签订的一份合同,该合同将会看到该公司用于分析无人机镜头的人工智能。 在内部强烈反对之后,谷歌首席执行官桑达皮采出版了一套关于如何使用人工智能的道德原则。谷歌还决定不与国防部续签合同,后来又决定放弃与五角大楼签订价值100亿美元的云合同。尽管如此,谷歌内部和外部仍在争论Project Dragonfly,这是一个为中国构建审查搜索引擎的项目。 这场争论也触及了Salesforce。根据唐纳德特朗普总统的零容忍移民政策,超过650名Salesforce员工致函首席执行官马克贝尼奥夫,以抗议该公司与美国海关与边境保护局的合作。 几周后,科技工作者和活动家在公司旧金山总部Salesforce Tower前展示。此外,为移民提供法律服务的非营利组织拒绝了 Salesforce的25万美元捐款,称除非公司取消合同,否则不能接受这笔钱。   以上由AI翻译完成,仅供参考。 作者:Rosalie Chan 原文来自:Salesforce is hiring its first Chief Ethical and Humane Use officer to make sure its artificial intelligence isn't used for evil

    Box与谷歌合作推出适用所有人的G Suite集成套装,预计明年1月全面推出Box for G Suite Box正式为今天的所有用户推出G Suite集成。 云存储和团队协作平台以及谷歌首次公布了7月份Google Cloud的整合,尽管公开测试版本要到8月底才公布。该计划自那时起一直处于测试阶段,不再接受新的访问申请。 现在Box for G Suite正在推出,所有用户都可以使用,该公司表示预计将在2019年1月中旬完成全面推出。 合作伙伴 虽然Box和Google多年来已经推出了许多合作伙伴关系  ,但Box for G Suite集成的显着之处在于它允许Google Docs用户从Box内部创建,编辑和保存他们的文档——他们不再需要使用Google Drive 。这类似于Dropbox和谷歌今年早些时候宣布的合作伙伴关系。 上图:Box for G Suite集成:Google Slides in Box 早在去年10月,Google就推出了一项名为Compose actions的G Suite Gmail附加组件的新功能,该功能可直接用于Box等企业应用程序。该插件基本上允许Gmail用户从Box附加文件,并直接从Gmail应用程序下载电子邮件附件到Box。 尽管Box和谷歌在很多方面展开竞争,这些紧密结合可能看起来有悖常理,但这些整合实际上利用了各自在工作场所服务之间的巨大交叉。事实上,许多公司都订购了G Suite和Box,因此将两种服务结合在一起能使Google和Box的客户生活变得更加轻松。 “工作的未来将由最佳应用程序定义,这些应用程序协同工作,使人们能够比以往更快,更轻松地协作完成工作”,Box的首席产品官Jeetu Patel说道。 “Box和G Suite不仅可以帮助人们提高工作效率,而且还可以确保企业可以在云中集中、管理和保护他们的数据。”   以上为AI翻译,内容仅供参考。 原文链接:Box for G Suite integration launches for all 更多阅读: 谷歌G Suite发布新工具Work Insights,旨在帮助企业更好地了解其工作方式 Google选择eQuest为应聘者追踪系统G-Suite提供职位发布 Google宣布推出G Suite一个集成的招聘应用程序 Hire by Google的候选人发现工具目前已普遍适用于G Suite的付费用户
