Query: What You See Is What You Get? The Impact of Representation Criteria on
  Human Bias in Hiring   Although systematic biases in decision-making are widely documented, the ways
in which they emerge from different sources is less understood. We present a
controlled experimental platform to study gender bias in hiring by decoupling
the effect of world distribution (the gender breakdown of candidates in a
specific profession) from bias in human decision-making. We explore the
effectiveness of \textit{representation criteria}, fixed proportional display
of candidates, as an intervention strategy for mitigation of gender bias by
conducting experiments measuring human decision-makers' rankings for who they
would recommend as potential hires. Experiments across professions with varying
gender proportions show that balancing gender representation in candidate
slates can correct biases for some professions where the world distribution is
skewed, although doing so has no impact on other professions where human
persistent preferences are at play. We show that the gender of the
decision-maker, complexity of the decision-making task and over- and
under-representation of genders in the candidate slate can all impact the final
decision. By decoupling sources of bias, we can better isolate strategies for
bias mitigation in human-in-the-loop systems.
