Everything above only holds if one rule holds. It is built into the structure rather than promised in a policy.
Nuance in. Identity out.
Protected characteristics cannot reach the engine that produces a score. Not as inputs, not as features, not as tiebreaks. A test fails the build if they ever do.
- Never scored
- Nothing said in an interview or written on a resume moves a trait, a fit label or a ranking.
- Never weighted
- Anything a person chooses to record about themselves is held for them, not fed to the matching.
- Never inferred
- No component guesses age, race, sex or origin from a name, an accent or a turn of phrase.
