  • LIZ: ALL RIGHT.

  • BREAKING NEWS.

  • WE HAVE THE SAN FRANCISCO FED

  • PRESIDENT MARY DAILY MAKING SOME

  • COMMENTS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE

  • HITTING THE TAPE AND I THOUGHT

  • THIS ONE WAS PRETTY INTERESTING.

  • SHE SAYS THE U.S. LABOR MARKET

  • HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF

  • EXTRAORDINARY.

  • YES, WE HAVE HAD GREAT JOBS

  • NUMBERS.

  • I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO

  • BRING YOU, THAT A FEDERAL

  • RESERVE, SHE IS HEAD OF THE SAN

  • FRANCISCO BANK, IS SAYING THAT

  • BECAUSE IT'S GOOD NEWS.

  • >>> ALL RIGHT.

  • I WANT TO ALSO SHOW YOU THIS.

  • HAVE YOU SEEN "TIME" MAGAZINE

  • COVER STAR FRESHMAN

  • CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA

  • OCASIO-CORTEZ?

  • SHE'S GETTING MASSIVE ATTENTION,

  • I MEAN SHE'S ON "TIME" MAGAZINE

  • AND SHE'S NOT EVEN RUNNING FOR

  • PRESIDENT.

  • ALL RIGHT.

  • WHAT ABOUT THIS GUY?

  • A BUSINESSMAN, ANDREW YANG, WHO

  • IS RUNNING ON THE DEMOCRATIC

  • TICKET IN 2020 FOR PRESIDENT.

  • WHY ARE WE BRINGING HIM TO YOUR

  • ATTENTION?

  • BECAUSE HE'S RUNNING AND SAYS,

  • THIS IS PRETTY MUCH HIS

  • PLATFORM, HE QUOTE FEARS FOR THE

  • FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY.

  • HE SAYS ROBOT SOFTWARE AND

  • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HAVE

  • ALREADY DESTROYED MORE THAN FOUR

  • MILLION U.S. JOBS AND IN THE

  • NEXT FIVE TO TEN YEARS, THEY

  • WILL ELIMINATE MILLIONS MORE.

  • OUR NEXT GUEST IS ALSO A

  • BUSINESSMAN WHO MIGHT DISAGREE.

  • ZIP RECRUITER, YOU KNOW THIS

  • NAME, RIGHT, IT CONNECTS

  • MILLIONS OF BUSINESSES WITH JOB

  • SEEKERS AND IT'S DOING THAT WITH

  • THE HELP OF ARTIFICIAL

  • INTELLIGENCE, SMART MATCHING

  • TECHNOLOGY.

  • ZIP RECRUITER CEO JOINS US IN A

  • FOX BUSINESS EXCLUSIVE.

  • GREAT TO HAVE YOU, IAN.

  • HOW DOES SMART MATCHING WORK,

  • THEN WE WILL GET TO WHAT MR.

  • YANG SAYS.

  • >> WELL, IT USED TO BE IF YOU

  • WERE AN EMPLOYER LOOKING TO HIRE

  • SOMEONE, YOU WOULD POST A JOB

  • AND THEN HOPE FATE BROUGHT THE

  • RIGHT CANDIDATE TO THE AD THAT

  • YOU POSTED.

  • NOW THE ALGORITHMS THAT WE HAVE

  • CREATED WILL INSTANTLY GO

  • THROUGH ALL OF THE ACTIVE JOB

  • SEEKERS IN THE MARKET, IDENTIFY

  • THE VERY BEST FIT FOR THE JOB

  • YOU HAVE POSTED, AND LET THEM

  • KNOW THAT THAT JOB JUST WENT

  • ONLINE.

  • LIZ: SO IT'S A HIRING TOOL AND

  • TALK ABOUT HOW IT ACTUALLY

  • WORKS.

  • IT PROBABLY SIFTS THROUGH

  • RESUMES LOOKING FOR KEYWORDS?

  • >> IT'S WAY BEYOND LOOKING FOR

  • KEYWORDS.

  • THIS IS A TYPE OF SOFTWARE THAT

  • USES ALL THE INFORMATION BOTH IN

  • THE JOB AD AND THE RESUME PLUS

  • ALL OF THE ACTIVITY THAT JOB

  • SEEKERS EXHIBIT WHEN HE OR SHE

  • IS SEARCHING FOR A JOB, AND IT'S

  • LOOKING AT THE ENTIRE POPULATION

  • TO SEE OTHER JOB SEEKERS WHO

  • LOOK LIKE THAT JOB SEEKER.

  • IT'S THE SMARTEST ALGORITHM

  • THAT'S EVER BEEN BUILT.

  • LIZ: OKAY.

  • ANDREW YANG TOTALLY DISAGREES.

  • THIS IS A NAME THAT MANY

  • AMERICANS MIGHT NOT KNOW BUT

  • HE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.

  • HE'S A BUSINESSMAN.

  • HE'S NOT AN IDIOT.

  • HE'S CERTAINLY A SMART GUY.

  • WHAT HE'S SAYING IS RESONATING

  • WITH SOME PEOPLE WHO FEEL THEY

  • HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BY

  • A.I., ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,

  • BUT WHAT IS YOUR COUNTER TO

  • THAT?

  • WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT

  • HIS CONCERNS?

  • >> WELL, LET'S BE CLEAR.

  • TECHNOLOGY IS ALWAYS BOTH

  • DESTROYING AND CREATING NEW

  • JOBS.

  • I CHALLENGE YOU TO LOOK AT ANY

  • POINT IN HISTORY AND FIND A TIME

  • WHEN TECHNOLOGY CREATED LESS

  • JOBS THAN IT DESTROYED.

  • LIZ: THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

  • WAS ACCUSED OF PROBABLY DOING

  • THE SAME THING.

  • >> ABSOLUTELY.

  • SO YES, THERE IS NO MORE

  • TELEPHONE SWITCHBOARD OPERATORS

  • OR SEAMSTRESSES OR DATA ENTRY

  • CLERKS.

  • BY THE SAME TOKEN, WE NOW HAVE

  • AN APP STORE WHERE IT'S AN $80

  • BILLION ECONOMY AND 300,000

  • PEOPLE MAKE THEIR FULL-TIME

  • LIVING.

  • LIZ: HERE'S THE PROBLEM.

  • IT'S ALREADY BEEN PROVEN THERE

  • IS EVIDENCE THAT H.R. RESUME

  • SIFTERS ARE BIASED.

  • THEY ACTUALLY TAUGHT THEMSELVES

  • TO DISLIKE WOMEN CANDIDATES.

  • WE CAN PUT UP ON THE SCREEN

  • THINGS THAT A.I., AMAZON HAD A

  • PROBLEM WITH ONE OF ITS BETA

  • THINGS ACCORDING TO REUTERS.

  • IT STARTED TO SPIT BACK AND

  • REJECT RESUMES THAT HAD THE WORD

  • WOMEN AND WOMEN'S, ALL WOMEN'S

  • COLLEGES, THE WORLD SYNERGY AND

  • DUTIES, BUT IT LIKED WORDS THAT

  • MALE CANDIDATES TEND TO USE SUCH

  • AS EXECUTED, CAPTURED, RESULTS.

  • HOW DO YOU MAKE SURE AND ENSURE

  • THAT THERE ISN'T GENDER BIAS

  • WITH A.I.?

  • >> WELL, UNCONSCIOUS BIAS OR

  • GENDER BIAS OR AGEISM OR

  • WHATEVER BIAS YOU WANT TO TALK

  • ABOUT, IT'S PERVASIVE THROUGHOUT

  • OUR SOCIETY.

  • HONESTLY, IT'S A REALLY

  • CHALLENGING PROBLEM.

  • THERE IS NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL

  • SOLUTION FOR IT BUT OUR CHOICES

  • ARE SIMPLE.

  • EITHER WE CAN TRY TO RETRAIN

  • EVERYONE IN SOCIETY TO

  • UNDERSTAND THEIR OWN UNCONSCIOUS

  • BIAS AND HOPEFULLY ELIMINATE IT,

  • OR WE CAN GO TO THESE ALGORITHMS

  • BECAUSE WITHIN THE ALGORITHMS WE

  • GET TO MAKE CHOICES.

  • WE GET TO SAY THINGS LIKE I'M

  • GOING TO MAKE THE WORD WAITER

  • AND WAITRESS THE SAME ON EVERY

  • RESUME.

  • LIZ: YOU GUYS ARE NUMBER ONE

  • APP, ZIP RECRUITER THE NUMBER

  • ONE APP FOR IOS AND ANDROID.

  • WHAT ARE YOUR TOP PAYING JOBS

  • THAT ARE OPEN RIGHT NOW?

  • I PROMISED MY VIEWERS ON TWITTER

  • THAT WE WOULD TALK ABOUT THESE.

  • >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS A

  • GOLDEN AGE TO BE A JOB SEEKER.

  • THERE ARE COUNTLESS JOBS THAT

  • ARE UNFILLED RIGHT NOW THAT PAY

  • ANYWHERE FROM MIDDLE CLASS TO

  • UPPER MIDDLE CLASS SALARIES.

  • LIZ: WE HAVE EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN

  • FOR $147,000, NURSE, SENIOR DATA

  • MODELER, SOFTWARE ENGINEER.

  • >> YES.

  • TECH AND HEALTH CARE ARE BOOMING

  • CATEGORIES.

  • IN PARTICULAR, HEALTH CARE.

  • WE HAVE AN AGING POPULATION

  • THAT'S GETTING OLDER THAN IT HAS

  • EVER BEEN WHICH MEANS THERE IS

  • MASSIVE DEMAND FOR NURSES AND

  • ALL THE SURGICAL SERVICES THAT

  • GO WITH PEOPLE WHO GET TO AN

  • OLDER AGE.

  • THEN IN TECH, THE FASTEST

  • GROWING JOB CATEGORY IN AMERICA

  • AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE SO

  • PROBABLY FOR THE REST OF OUR

  • LIFETIMES.

  • LIZ: NOT NEWSCASTER?

LIZ: ALL RIGHT.
