Bias in the Tails: How Name-conditioned Evaluative Framing in Resume Summaries Destabilizes LLM-based Hiring

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2604.19984v1 Announce Type: cross Research has documented LLMs' name-based bias in hiring and salary recommendations. In this paper, we instead consider a setting where LLMs generate candidate summaries for downstream assessment. In a large-scale controlled study, we analyze nearly one million resume summaries produced by 4 models under systematic race-gender name perturbations, using synthetic resumes and real-world job postings.
