Khyati Sundaram, CEO and Chairperson of Applied, is on a mission to improve diversity in hiring by leveraging lessons from behavioral science and technology. The company's platform aims to provide unbiased hiring solutions, focusing on skills-based testing and decision intelligence systems. By removing noise from resumes and using machine learning to optimize the hiring funnel, Applied seeks to empower humans to make fairer decisions at scale. However, Sundaram acknowledges that biases can occur in various stages of the ML model lifecycle and emphasizes the need for full testing in real-world environments. To address this, Applied is working on optimizing human judgment and machine learning data, aiming to create a platform where everyone cares deeply about quality matches and knows what high ROI looks like. Ultimately, Sundaram's goal is to build a society-wide expression of inclusivity through her company's innovative solutions.
