The questions you’re already asking.
- Fair. It drafts and surfaces signal. You decide, and you can override any score.
- Neither do we. Assessments are clearly authored. The video interview is opt-in and upfront.
- Yours. We don’t train shared models on it. Ask us and we’ll export or delete it.
- Where you hire matters. You make the hiring decision, not the model. NYC’s Local Law 144 also wants a bias audit you commission.
- We’ve limited it, not measured it. The scorer never receives a name, photo or country, and interviews are scored from the transcript as text.
- As long as the role does. They are kept for as long as the hiring team keeps your application on file, and deleted when they delete your record — the same statement the consent screen shows the candidate before anything is captured.
