What is Algorithmic Bias in Hiring?
Systematic and unfair discrimination that occurs when algorithms used in recruiting and hiring decisions produce outcomes that disproportionately favor or disadvantage candidates based on protected characteristics like race, gender, age, or disability.
Why it matters in hiring
Algorithmic Bias in Hiring comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
