AI doesn’t eliminate bias by default
Bias tied to background and pedigree persists unless addressed.
Focus on skills and transparent scoring
Recruiters reduce bias when evaluating candidates on measurable performance rather than pedigree.
Ethical AI requires oversight
Recruiters must understand decision-making processes and audit outcomes regularly.
