What Should I Do If My Audit Reveals Bias?

Discovering bias in your AI hiring tools is actually a positive outcome — it means you caught the issue before regulators did. Here is a structured approach:

**Immediate Steps:** 1. Document the findings thoroughly 2. Assess the severity — does it violate the four-fifths rule? 3. Notify your legal and compliance team 4. Consider pausing the biased screening step while you remediate

**Remediation:**

  • Work with your ATS vendor to adjust algorithms
  • Remove or modify criteria causing disparate impact
  • Re-weight scoring factors to reduce bias
  • Add human review to AI-automated decisions

**Prevention:**

  • Schedule regular audits (quarterly recommended)
  • Monitor selection rates continuously
  • Train hiring managers on bias awareness
  • Document all changes for compliance records

OnHirely provides specific remediation recommendations in every audit report, helping you address findings efficiently.
