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, i ncluding 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.
