What it is

An NLP model parses CVs and scores candidates against the role's must-have and nice-to-have criteria, with explicit bias-mitigation controls (anonymisation, de-biased features, audit trail). Recruiters spend their time on shortlists, not stacks.

Data you need

Job descriptions with structured criteria, ATS access.

Required systems

  • project management

Why it works

  • Bias audit before deployment and quarterly thereafter
  • Always require human review of top 10 and bottom 10

How this goes wrong

  • Model amplifies bias from historical hiring patterns
  • Recruiters trust scores blindly and stop reviewing

When NOT to do this

Don't auto-reject candidates based on model score alone, EU AI Act treats this as high risk.
