How do you define a better employee though ? I mean employers might want to hire people they like, not people who are better at their job. Skill can also be subjective. Sometimes it's about having a good relationship inside a company.

I'm all for hiring people based on their skill, experience and potential, but don't think employers will want to let algorithm do the job of HR. Many hires are based on social contact and first impression, and I don't think anyone want to change that idea of a company being a group of people getting along.

Being able to hire whoever you want is am important liberty. If people were letting algorithms do the job, they might not like it. I guess it's part of the "machine will decide for us" debate.

Anyway, I'm unemployed, so by no mean I could be against change of any sort.
