Abstract

Organizations increasingly rely on algorithms for decision-making, which raises significant ethical issues. In this paper, we provide a detailed case study of the development and deployment of two human resources (HR) algorithms in a major French digital company. Our findings show that these ethical issues reflect the ethical considerations of the various stakeholders involved in the process, including data scientists, HR practitioners, and legal experts. We discuss how these considerations intervene during the decision-making process in algorithm design and usage, offering insights for both academics and practitioners into how ethical issues are approached by different actors. © 2025 Coron et al.
