What is a model card for an HR model?
The short answer
A model card is the short, structured documentation that makes a people-scoring model auditable: intended use and known misuses, training data provenance, validation evidence, performance by subgroup, and monitoring plan. If a model influences hiring, pay, or retention decisions and no such artifact exists, the organization cannot answer the two questions that matter — does it work, and for whom does it fail.
The problem underneath
Models scoring people in hiring, pay, and attrition routinely ship with no documentation of intended use, validation evidence, or subgroup performance; a model card is the minimum artifact that makes an HR model auditable.
