HIRING REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make applicant review more consistent while keeping hiring decisions with people.

Organize application materials against the stated requirements for a role and prepare structured notes for a hiring team. Use only job-related criteria, protect applicant information, and check for missing context, accessibility needs, and possible bias. Do not rank, reject, schedule, or advance people solely from an automated score; qualified reviewers must assess each application and approve every decision and candidate communication.

Keep in mind

Automated screening can reproduce bias, miss qualified experience, or infer protected characteristics. Use validated job-related criteria, limit access to applicant records, make accommodations available, and never use a score as the sole basis for rejection, selection, or other employment action.
