Adverse-impact monitoring

The four-fifths rule (EEOC Uniform Guidelines) flags a group whose selection rate falls below 80% of the top group's rate. Meritline computes this from your explicit protected-attribute mapping — never from names, photos, or extracted text.

Why this dashboard exists

  • Protected attributes come from a separate voluntary channel (e.g. self-reported EEO forms) — never inferred from the CV or name.
  • This monitor measures outcomes. It never influences a score.
  • It measures your decisions, not the model's: a candidate counts as selected when you shortlist them.

What the scorer reads. Before a CV is scored, the candidate's name, contact details, home city and personal details (date of birth, nationality, marital status, religion, caste category, gender, parents' names, passport place of issue, blood group, and height and weight unless your job description sets them) are taken out of the text the model reads, along with photo lines, faith affiliations, gendered pronouns, career-break entries, the names of schools and universities (the degree and subject stay), and any language your job description does not ask for. This happens on every run, whatever you choose to see on screen, and the CV you read is unchanged. It is best-effort removal of what is written in recognisable places — see the known gaps below. Not a fairness guarantee; see methodology §4. This dashboard detects disparate outcomes after the fact; it does not prevent them.

Action audit trail (this run)

No actions recorded.

Meritline recommends — you decide. Rankings are a starting point — every action stays with the recruiter. Nothing here rejects a candidate on its own.
