  This is the law of unintended consequences. Data points are correlated to other data points. Unless your hiring algorithm is a random number generator, you could find some sort of "bias" you didn't intend. At least an algorithm is measurable, repeatable, and consistent. Yes, you have to monitor the output of any process for unintended consequences, then you make tweaks as appropriate to eliminate unintended outcomes.
