In a move that signals where talent acquisition may be headed, Greenhouse, a leading applicant tracking system (ATS), has announced a first-of-its-kind integration with CLEAR, the secure identity platform known for streamlining the airport experience. The collaboration aims to bolster fraud prevention in the hiring process, giving employers new tools to verify candidate identity at multiple stages—from pre-screening to onboarding.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta offered employees of rival OpenAI signing bonuses of $100 million to switch companies, according to Open AI CEO Sam Altman. “They started making giant offers to a lot of people on our team,” Altman said Tuesday on the “Uncapped” podcast hosted by his brother Jack. “You know, like $100 million signing bonuses.” Altman said that Meta’s attempts to poach his staff have failed, at least so far.
Apple researchers have found “fundamental limitations” in cutting-edge artificial intelligence models, in a paper raising doubts about the technology industry’s race to develop ever more powerful systems. Apple said in a paper published at the weekend that large reasoning models (LRMs) – an advanced form of AI – faced a “complete accuracy collapse” when presented with highly complex problems. It found that standard AI models outperformed LRMs in low-complexity tasks, while both types of model suffered “complete collapse” with high-complexity tasks. Large reasoning models attempt to solve complex queries by generating detailed thinking processes that break down the problem into smaller steps.
