This paper aims to discuss the processes of representation of subjectivities in the digital environment and their possible implications in the world of work from the observation of software that offer automated selection of professionals. Based on Peircean semiotics, we conduct a theoretical debate on the production and circulation of meanings in the digital environment, problematizing the possible biases present in the data and the analysis of job vacancy candidates through algorithms. Finally, we point out the limits of the representation of subjectivities and highlight the importance of observing ethical issues in the processes of coding and filtering information in the digital environment.
