Abstract
In some embodiments, a method can include receiving a set of job descriptions and a set of candidate profiles. Each job description is associated with a first subset of candidate profiles from the set of candidate profiles. The method can further include executing a model to identify, from the first subset of candidate profiles, a second subset of candidate profiles that satisfy a fit metric and a third subset of candidate profiles that does not satisfy the fit metric. The method can further include calculating a bias metric based on a true positive value, a false positive value, a true negative value, and a false negative value that were calculated based on auditing the second subset of candidate profiles and the third subset of candidate profiles. The method can further include updating the set of job descriptions based on the bias metric.
