I don't think I am. However, between 2 equally qualified candidates, I'll prefer the 35 yo to the 45 yo one. Even though I'm almost 45, I've always been exposed to younger people being more driven and looking for more jobs than older people. I might have to challenge myself here!!
you have exactly my position Bruno! My self perception is 'of course not' but how do I know? Also, there ARE going to be roles where 'the fit' is correlated with age, and then I have to reexamine my self perception!
It’s one of the biases I keep in check on purpose as it’s easy to go for the young, energetic candidate… during Kickoff calls this is a subject as well, when I see they are predominantly hiring ‘young’ people
there is a bias for it - I think we have not honestly tried to understand why. Going to write about this tomorrow, I think this may be endemic in the very concept of 'recruiting'
Another reason we really need to keep pushing for merit based hiring approaches of all sorts. As it only looks if the person can do what is necessary for the job and (if applied well) ignore all other things.

Regarding AI Versioning, here's a quick drag-and-drop challenge I made:
Can you put 10 random LLM models in the right order based on just their name?
