What is this?

AI bias is systematic unfairness — often from training data or sloppy prompts that proxy for protected attributes.

Why should you care?

PromptVerse HR prompts forbid inferring demographics and score only job-relevant skills from explicit rubric.

See it live — copy this example

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or your LLM API playground and compare outputs.

SYSTEM: Score resume against JD skills only.
Never infer age, gender, ethnicity, or nationality.
If JD skill missing from resume, score 0 for that skill — do not guess.
Output: { skills_match: [], score: 1-10, evidence_quotes: [] }

What happened?

  • Explicit prohibitions and evidence_quotes force grounding in resume text — reduces hidden demographic proxies.
  • Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

  1. Audit one prompt for demographic inference risk.
  2. Add rubric tied to JD skills only.
  3. Test on synthetic resumes differing only in name.
  4. Blind resume fields before prompt.
  5. Log score distribution by source channel.

Remember

Rubric on job skills only. Forbid demographic inference. Bias test with paired resumes.

Fair screening

Legal reviews HR copilot.

Outcome: Rubric + prohibitions pass initial bias review.
