Hiring bias
Systematic **unfair disadvantage** to candidates based on protected attributes or proxy signals in screening tools.
#When to use
Evaluating AI resume rankers, video interview analyzers, and automated rejection pipelines.
#When not to
Assuming neutral algorithms — audit data and outcomes, do not trust vendor marketing alone.
#Example
