You run a resume screener. Most days it sorts applicants the way you expect. Then it makes one bad call: it uses age or birth date to stop a person before a recruiter sees the resume.
That means a strong resume can land in the no pile for the wrong reason.
A future best-fit hire gets cut off, even though a recruiter would have seen the job match in seconds.
On paper the numbers still look fine, so the miss hides in plain sight.
In emergency medicine, this is called Emergency Room Triage. When staff and time are tight, you help first the people you can still save by acting now, not just the ones who showed up first.
You can add the same control to the resume screener.
Keep age and birth date out of the stop call, and send strong risky resumes to a fast human review lane while the resume screener skips only clear no-fits.
That one lane keeps a bad filter from killing a good hire.
