Should companies be banned from using AI to screen job applications?

I did two tours and then spent four years retraining as a network engineer. My resume does not look like the resume of someone who went straight from a CS degree to a help desk. It looks like someone the model has never seen before, which the model reads as someone wrong. Veterans, career changers, formerly incarcerated people trying to reenter, immigrants with foreign credentials, every one of us is an edge case to a system trained on the median hire. And the chilling part is that we know it now. People are starting to self select out of applying, because why spend an hour on an application a machine will bin in four seconds? A hiring system that teaches nontraditional candidates not to bother is a hiring system that has failed at hiring. The Labor Department runs an entire program to support veteran employment (DOL VETS); automated screens undo that work silently, one rejected application at a time.
