◆ Outcome 5.3 / For organizations · enterprise / ATS-integrated · continuous fairness monitoring

Hire with calibrated capability evidence.

Résumé screens correlate poorly with job performance. Hiring on capability evidence — calibrated against the role's actual demands, with continuous fairness monitoring — produces better hires and a defensible audit trail. Skills-based hiring deploys QLM measurement infrastructure across your applicant pipeline with ATS integration, custom role-template authoring, and aggregate disparate-impact monitoring built in from day one.

◆ What you get back · 01

Per-comparison evidence plus organization-wide fairness monitoring.

Hiring managers see calibrated candidate comparisons inline in their ATS workflow. Compliance teams see organization-wide disparate-impact monitoring with quarterly EEOC-aligned reporting. Both surfaces are infrastructure-validated from day one — the audit trail and four-fifths-rule analysis ship at current release; the aggregate disparate-impact results accumulate as your organization uses the system.

Recommendation: Black/African American group at 0.84 four-fifths ratio is approaching the 0.80 threshold. Recommended actions: review override rationales for the 12 hires in this group where managers advanced non-top-ranked candidates; review applicant-pool sourcing for this group (the gap may originate before QLM measurement); engage QLM research team for cohort-level analysis if the trend continues. What this report does not do: notify the EEOC, recommend specific personnel actions, or provide legal advice. Your compliance team and legal counsel decide what to do with the data.

Real organization-wide monitoring, real EEOC alignment, real audit trail. This is what you can show an auditor.

◆ How it works · 02

Four flows. Built into your ATS.

Skills-based hiring runs as standing infrastructure across your applicant pipeline, not as a separate tool managers have to remember to use. The integration spans four flows: requisition sync, candidate sync, comparison surfacing, decision sync. The hiring decision authority remains in your ATS and with your team. QLM observes and records; QLM does not direct.

i

Requisition sync.

When you create a requisition in your ATS, the corresponding QLM requisition is created. Pick a curated role template or your own custom template calibrated against your historical hire outcomes.

Auto · webhook-driven
ii

Candidate invitation.

Candidates entering the pipeline are invited to share their existing QLM Profile or take a baseline diagnostic. Invitation flows through your ATS's email infrastructure — looks like part of your standard candidate communication.

Auto · pipeline-stage-triggered
iii

Comparison surfacing.

Calibrated fit scores plus dimensional breakdown appear in your ATS candidate record. Continuous fairness audit on every comparison. Click through opens the full QLM comparison view.

Inline · in-ATS view
iv

Decision sync & audit.

When a hiring decision is recorded in the ATS, QLM captures it in the audit trail with rationale capture for overrides. Per-hire compliance package generated automatically; quarterly aggregate report emailed to compliance.

◆ Methodology · 03

EEOC-aligned. Per-claim validated.

Skills-based hiring is the only assessment vendor that publishes per-claim validation status across the product line. The audit trail, fairness monitoring, and compliance reporting infrastructure are validated from day one; the disparate-impact reduction claim relative to résumé screening is in-progress as the v1 cohort accumulates outcomes. You see the validation status on every claim, every report.

◆ FOUR-FIFTHS RULE
29 CFR §1607

EEOC Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures. Selection rate analysis with 95% CIs and minimum-sample-size handling. Statistical correction for multiple comparisons across protected dimensions.

◆ FAIRNESS AUDIT
Validated

Continuous real-time fairness monitoring on every comparison computation. Items with detected differential difficulty pulled from the global bank — improvements benefit all customers.

◆ DISPARATE-IMPACT REDUCTION
In Progress

Claim that QLM-assisted selection reduces disparate impact vs. résumé screening. Empirical claim requiring multi-year cohort data. The current release includes infrastructure; v2 ships measured value.

◆ The honest read · 04

What this system does not do.

Skills-based hiring provides infrastructure for capability-based selection with continuous fairness monitoring. It does not replace decisions, predict outcomes perfectly, or absorb your organization's compliance obligations. Five things this system explicitly does not do — important for legal positioning.
