Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

To process 1.8 million applications annually while reducing bias, the company automated the early screening funnel. Policies dictate that the AI evaluates candidates based on gamified trait assessments rather than resumes (which contain gender/ethnic signals). The system automatically masks demographic data from hiring managers until the final interview stage.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Algorithmic fairness in action. By replacing the 'resume screen' (prone to unconscious bias) with 'trait assessment', the entity diversified its intake. The governance layer is critical here: regular auditing of the algo for adverse impact against protected classes."

warning The Challenge

Recruiters manually screening resumes is slow and biased (favoring prestigious universities or familiar names). The company wanted to diversify its graduate program but was overwhelmed by volume.

psychology The Solution

Candidates play neuroscience-based games (Pymetrics) to assess traits like risk tolerance or memory. An algorithm matches these traits to successful employee profiles. The system is 'blind' to gender, race, and university. Resumes are only viewed at the final stage.
