Adverse impact monitoring for AI hiring assessments

U.S. employers have long been expected to use job-related selection procedures and watch for adverse impact. AI does not create a special exemption-it creates a documentation obligation. This guide connects Uniform Guidelines-style thinking to modern verified behavioral assessments.

01

Start with job relatedness

If you cannot defend why a competency predicts success, do not score it with a model. AI accelerates structure; it does not invent validity.

02

Monitor selection rates by process stage

Track who advances after each AI-assisted step. Version assessments so you can reconstruct what candidates experienced. Pair quantitative monitoring with rubric quality reviews.

03

Keep humans in the loop for adverse actions

Silent auto-reject increases risk. Require human review, capture override rationale, and offer accommodation paths.

04

Avoid high-risk modalities

Facial-expression personality scoring, accent-based scoring, and appearance-based scoring raise scientific and legal risk without improving job relatedness. Stick to demonstrated evidence.

05

Integrity protects the validity story

If ghostwritten answers pass, your adverse-impact analysis may describe tool access-not candidate ability. Authenticity checks belong in the validation program.
