Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Algorithmic hiring tools, once heralded as an antidote to human prejudice in recruitment, are now facing intensifying scrutiny for reproducing the very biases they were designed to eliminate. Proponents originally argued that software, unlike a fatigued or distracted interviewer, would evaluate every candidate against a fixed and impartial rubric, thereby stripping decisions of the subconscious associations that skew human judgment. Yet a growing body of research suggests that these systems, trained on historical hiring data, often inherit and even amplify the discriminatory patterns embedded in that data, effectively automating exclusion under a veneer of statistical objectivity.
The difficulty is not merely technical but definitional: many of these tools are trained to identify candidates who resemble previously successful employees, a criterion that quietly encodes whatever demographic skew already existed in the workforce. If an organisation's past hires were overwhelmingly drawn from a narrow set of universities or backgrounds, the algorithm learns to treat that narrowness as a marker of merit, penalising equally capable candidates whose profiles simply look different on paper.
Regulators in several jurisdictions have begun demanding audits of these systems, but auditing itself remains contested terrain. Vendors frequently resist disclosing the inner workings of proprietary models, citing competitive concerns, which leaves auditors to infer bias from outcomes rather than mechanisms. Some scholars contend that outcome- based audits are sufficient safeguards, since what ultimately matters is whether qualified candidates are being unfairly filtered out, regardless of the algorithm's internal logic. Others insist that without visibility into the underlying mechanism, organisations cannot reliably distinguish a genuinely fixed problem from one that has merely been disguised.
What is rarely disputed is that algorithmic hiring, left unexamined, does not represent a neutral upgrade over human judgment; it represents a different, and sometimes more opaque, vector for the same old inequities to persist.
Ques. 74. What does the passage imply about the original justification for algorithmic hiring tools?
1. They were created in response to government regulation
2. They were meant to shorten the length of the hiring process
3. They were expected to eliminate the subconscious bias present in human judgment
4. They were designed to replace human recruiters entirely
5. They were introduced primarily to reduce recruitment costs
Correct Option - 3
Ques. 75. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
1. Vendors readily disclose the internal workings of their hiring algorithms
2. These tools can inherit discriminatory patterns present in historical hiring data

4. Outcome-based audits are considered sufficient safeguards by all scholars

4. Settled
5. Confirmed
Correct Option - 3
Ques. 78. According to the passage, why do some scholars consider outcome- based audits sufficient?
1. Because what matters most is whether qualified candidates are unfairly filtered out, regardless of
2. Because regulators mandate only this type of audit
3. Because outcome-based audits are faster to conduct
4. Because vendors always cooperate fully with such audits
5. Because internal algorithmic logic is impossible to understand
Correct Option - 1
Ques. 79. Which of the following best captures the central argument of the passage?
1. All hiring algorithms should be immediately banned
2. Government regulation of hiring algorithms is unnecessary
3. Historical hiring data is irrelevant to how algorithms are trained
4. Algorithmic hiring tools are inherently superior to human recruiters
5. Left unexamined, algorithmic hiring can perpetuate existing inequities rather than eliminate them
