Fast, Cheap, and Fair? Evaluating Decision Models
arXiv paper presenting the first systematic bias and fairness audit of Jev, a typed-decision model for recruitment. It measures how demographic attributes and candidate cues shift screening scores, rankings, and shortlisting, against a noise floor, plus validity, latency, and cost.

Highlights
- First systematic bias and fairness audit of Jev for recruitment decisions.

Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
It is the first systematic bias and fairness audit of Jev, a typed-decision model, in recruitment applications, examining how inputs influence screening scores, rankings, and shortlisting outcomes.
Screening scores, rankings, and shortlisting outcomes, along with output validity, latency, and cost.
Effects from explicit demographic attributes and implicit candidate cues are compared against a noise floor derived from name substitutions and typographical variations.
The paper notes the EU AI Act classifies recruitment AI systems as high-risk, imposing strict requirements on their deployment, which motivates fairness evaluation.
Yes. The paper states that counterfactual CV datasets and evaluation code are released for reproducibility.
The paper frames compact System 1 decision models as a fast and cost-efficient alternative to general-purpose LLMs, while noting their fairness remains largely unexplored.
It targets recruitment applications of Jev and reports fairness, validity, latency, and cost for that setting; it does not cover other decision domains or deployment contexts.
