HUMAN-LED HIRING REVIEW · Workflow idea

Help reviewers find relevant evidence while keeping hiring decisions human.

For an applicant who has been informed about the review process, organize submitted application materials and explicitly provided portfolio links against the published requirements for a specific role. Keep source references and uncertainty visible, exclude protected or unrelated personal characteristics, do not score, rank, or reject candidates, and require trained hiring staff to assess the evidence and make every employment decision.

Keep in mind

Hiring is a consequential decision, and automated scores or internet profiles can be inaccurate, invasive, or discriminatory. Use only necessary, job-related information provided with appropriate notice, avoid protected characteristics and unrelated online activity, do not rank or reject applicants automatically, and provide human review and an accommodation path.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document role-specific review criteria

Use consistent requirements tied to the actual duties of the position.

Give applicants clear notice

Explain which materials are reviewed, why they are used, and how to request an accommodation.

Limit sensitive data and access

Restrict application records to authorized hiring staff and follow retention rules.

Train and monitor human reviewers

Check for errors, inconsistent treatment, and inappropriate reliance on summaries.
