Dr. Frida Polli, founder and CEO of Pymetrics, explains how her website is helping people find their dream jobs. Pymetrics uses A.I. and machine learning to match people with jobs. Polli says companies need to stop using pieces of paper to evaluate applicants. She came up with the idea for the company when she realized her own resume didn't convey her own aspirations. Polli describes Pymetrics as a "Harry Potter sorting hat." Pymetrics uses brain teasers and there are no right or wrong answers. Polli says her technology has allowed companies like Accenture and Unilever to broaden their base of applicants and make more diverse hires.

Some companies have pointed to rising operational costs due to U.S.'s new tariffs, while others have redirected money to artificial intelligence investments. Workers in the public sector have also been hit hard. Federal jobs were cut by the thousands earlier this year. And many workers are now going without pay as the U.S. government shutdown has now dragged on for more than a month.
