Spent $120 on a fairness audit tool, it actually caught our hiring bias
I run a small recruiting side project and figured our screening algorithm was fine. Dropped $120 on an external audit service last month after a friend kept pushing it. Turns out it was weighting education level way too heavy, which filtered out older applicants with solid experience. The report showed a 14% drop in callbacks for over-40 candidates, and I'd never have caught that on my own. Anyone else pay for a third-party audit and find something they didn't expect?
