Linked – ACLU Says Facebook Enabled Companies to Target Job Ads to Male Users

ByMike McBride September 20, 2018September 20, 2018 Reading Time: 1 minute

Yeah, you really can’t do this:

The ACLU alleged in its charges that Facebook earned revenue from job ads that were delivered selectively based on age and gender, adding that most of the employers’ ads targeted males in fields that are traditionally dominated by men, excluding women and older potential applicants.

But, the question I have is why does Facebook’s job ad tool even allow anyone to target based on age or gender? Why isn’t a help wanted post on Facebook automatically steered to a platform that doesn’t even allow for that instead of being presented with the same options to target that any advertiser would? If they want to compete with LinkedIn for job postings, build a platform for that, instead of piggybacking off the advertising tools. Then you don’t have these problems.

Linked: A Data-Driven Approach to Identifying — and Retaining — Top Employees
ByMike McBride May 19, 2021May 16, 2021 Reading Time: 2 minutes

Of course, the reality is, and everyone who has ever been passed over for recognition and promotion by someone who “looked” like they were getting a lot done when they really weren’t, know this, most managers who relied on “seeing” their reports while walking around were never really that good at identifying who is doing the best job.

But now, that people will continue to work all over the place, and using collaborative workspaces that have data available about who is doing what, and who is communicating with whom, it’s going to be all about the data. The tools are there. Will managers use them, and get better at managing talent?

I mean, you really should use one for the obvious reason listed here, it lets you create a ton of different passwords, and make them complicated enough that they are hard to crack, since you no longer have to remember them, but they also make it easy for you to help someone gain access to important information and accounts when you are unable to. Because believe me, it happens.
