Imagine if a company could figure out exactly how desperate you are for a job...

Then use AI to offer you the lowest salary they think you'll accept.

That's the idea behind wage surveillance.

Companies are collecting more data than ever before, from AI interviews and online activity to your location and personal information, all in an effort to make hiring cheaper. The less they think you'll push back, the less they have to pay.

In this video, we're talking about wage surveillance, AI interviews, personalized salary offers, why you should stop oversharing during the hiring process, and how companies are using your own data against you.

And much like a lot of these things, it'll work about 1/2 the time and further blow up in the corporations face while they insult all potential hires.

depends on how desperate the workforce is at a given time.
