AI agent for diversity and inclusion managers
Hiring Funnel Adverse Impact Agent
Early detection of hiring stages with possible adverse impact
What it does
Each hiring stage, from application to offer, can filter out groups unevenly without anyone noticing. Every month this agent pulls applicant flow data from the applicant tracking system and calculates pass rates by group at every stage. It applies the four-fifths rule and a statistical test. Before reporting, it checks that the sample is large enough, with 30 or more per group. If not, it keeps watching and combines the data with the next month. For reportable stages, it breaks results down by job and recruiter to find what drives the gap. It drafts a finding for the manager. The manager decides next steps with talent acquisition and legal. Edge case: stages with fewer than 30 applicants in a group are watched but never reported as findings.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
