Overview

FINDHR (Fairness and Intersectional Non-Discrimination in Human Recommendation) is a project funded by the Horizon Europe program (grant 101070212) and unites 12 universities, companies, and NGOs in developing anti-discrimination methods, algorithms, and training for algorithmic hiring.

Algorithmic hiring is the usage of tools based on Artificial intelligence (AI) for finding and selecting job candidates. As with other applications of AI, it is vulnerable to creating and perpetuating discrimination. Considering technological, legal, and ethical aspects, FINDHR will facilitate the prevention, detection, and management of discrimination in algorithmic hiring and closely related areas involving human recommendation. FINDHR aims to create new ways to ascertain discrimination risk, produce less biassed outcomes, and meaningfully incorporate human expertise.

Among the goals of FINDHR, there is Anti-discrimination training for algorithmic hiring, dedicated to, among others, human resources professionals, recruiters and other professionals who are interested in and concerned about algorithmic fairness in recruiting.

FINDHR designed two types of training: 

• a 3h Masterclass
• a 30h course on anti-discrimination for AI in recruitment

3h Masterclass

The Masterclass includes two parts: 1.5h theory session and 1.5h case studies. This 3h course is specifically designed for developers and other professionals who are concerned with algorithmic fairness in recruitment.

30h course

The course includes three distinct parts: 14h theory sessions, 8h case studies, and 8h data analysis. The latter is organised into two groups: for experts in computer programming (Python), and for non-programmers, where the analytics platform Knime will be used.

In both courses, enrollment is free as the program is funded by Horizon Europe. FINDHR’s official information sheet can be found on the CORDIS platform.
