Can you control it?

Sometimes

Sometimes. Your choices depend on the tool and your access. The settings available to an everyday user may differ from those available to the people running it.

Common questions

Does an AI ranking establish a candidate's suitability?
No. It can overlook relevant experience or reflect biased criteria.
Can unusual experience be overlooked?
Yes. A system may favor familiar career paths and miss relevant experience described differently.
Does leaving out names remove every possible bias?
No. Other details can still reveal or be associated with personal characteristics.
