📰 ArXiv cs.AI
Algorithmic monocultures in hiring can lead to racial disparities in applicant outcomes, highlighting the need for diverse and fair AI systems
Action Steps
- Acquire a dataset of job applicants and their outcomes to analyze potential biases in algorithmic hiring systems
- Run statistical tests to identify racial disparities in applicant outcomes
- Configure and test alternative algorithms to reduce bias and improve fairness
- Apply techniques such as data preprocessing and feature engineering to mitigate biases in the data
- Compare the performance of different algorithms and select the most fair and effective one

Title: Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.27371v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many employers screen job applicants with algorithms built by the same few algorithm vendors. We hypothesize that algorithmic monoculture leads to the same individuals and members of the same racial groups facing rejection. We acquire and analyze a novel dataset of 3 million applicants submitting 4 million applications where all the applications are screened by algorithms built by the same vendor. We find clear racial disparities in applicant out
