Harver Implements TruEra AI Quality Solution to Assess Algorithmic Fairness, Help Comply with New York Bias Audit Regulations in Automated Hiring

TruEra, which provides the first suite of AI Quality management solutions for managing model performance, explainability, and societal impact, announced today that Harver, the industry leading hiring solution helping organizations optimize their talent decisions, is implementing TruEra to help optimize the performance of Harver’s behavioral assessment solutions and ensure compliance with the imminent City of New York AI regulations for HR applications.

In late 2021, the City of New York passed new regulations seeking to reduce bias in AI algorithms used in hiring. Under these regulations, all employers who use automated tools in hiring will be required to undergo a “bias audit.” Employers using and software vendors providing such tools are required to evaluate their systems and demonstrate compliance before the regulations go into effect on July 5, 2023.

Harver uses TruEra’s AI model diagnostics, testing and monitoring to evaluate its behavioral assessment solutions for performance, robustness and model bias on an ongoing basis, including the bias metrics specified by regulators (such as the ones proposed by the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection). TruEra’s software can also be used to identify the root causes behind any results indicating possible disparate treatment of groups, so that appropriate mitigating actions can be taken.
