Which sensitive attributes are excluded or controlled to reduce bias?

RChilli explicitly excludes or tightly controls attributes that can introduce direct or indirect bias.

These include:

• Name, because it may act as a proxy for gender, ethnicity, or religion. It is excluded from scoring and used only for display.
• Graduation year, because it may reveal age. It is not used in scoring.
• Pronouns or gender indicators, which are not used in scoring.
• Disability-related terms, which are ignored in scoring.
• Religion, marital status, and other personal identifiers, which are not used at all.

Location is handled differently. City, state, and country may be used only when they are job-relevant, such as for onsite roles, country-specific hiring, or work authorization. Even in such cases, location is used as an eligibility filter. ZIP or postal code is not used because it carries a higher bias risk.
