Since their early development, genetic programming-based algorithms have been showing to be successful at challenging problems, attaining several human-competitive results and other awards. This paper will present another achievement of such algorithms by describing how our team has won an international machine-learning competition. We have solved, by means of grammar-based genetic programming techniques, a real-world problem of meritocracy in jobs by evolving classifiers that were both accurate and human-readable.
