When LLM Agents Become Hiring Managers - Exploring Bias in Agentic Systems

AI hiring agents can quietly replicate bias, screening out candidates before a human ever sees their CV. We’ll explore real-world failures (like Amazon’s résumé screener), unpack where bias hides in AI pipelines, and share practical tools to audit and fix them.

Key Takeaways:

Watch for bias at every stage. AI agents can amplify unfairness in ways that aren't always obvious.
Big names aren't immune. Even Amazon with their infinite resources built tools that disadvantaged women without realising it.
We can spot and fix it. With the right tests and evaluation like swapping CV details or tracking model feedback, bias becomes visible and addressable in sandbox environments before it reaches the real world.
