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

Let me tell you about the hiring game I had to play for a marketing role. Twelve minutes of clicking balloons and matching shapes, and at the end a dashboard told the employer I was low on 'risk tolerance' and 'cognitive agility.' I have run campaigns with seven figure budgets. I was rejected by a balloon game. These game based assessments claim to measure traits from gameplay, and the vendors wrap it in neuroscience language, but the validation evidence is thin and the constructs are squishy. A personality quiz with better graphics is still a personality quiz. The difference is that a bad impression from a human interviewer is a story you can argue with, and a bad score from a game is a number nobody will explain. Screening livelihoods through arcade games should be illegal, full stop.
