For example, the HR staff may wish to have a 50% distribution of women in the workforce, but they also want to choose the most suitable candidate, so they can indicate that gender is 80% important, allowing room for real classification.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the algorithm should return a list of candidates classified as &#8220;to interview&#8221; or &#8220;not to interview.&#8221; Among those indicated for an interview, they must comply with the indicated distribution.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
