AI is seamlessly integrated across our recruitment process to streamline workflows, enhance decision-making, and promote fair, data-driven hiring.
Key AI capabilities include helping screen candidates and searching existing talent pools to deliver evidence-based recommendations with transparent reasoning for each applicant. These tools generate scorecard summaries that compile interviewer feedback into clear insights, provide keyword suggestions that craft inclusive and engaging job descriptions, provide resume anonymization to reduce bias, suggest attributes that build structured evaluation criteria, and summarize job notes to condense candidate discussions for faster, more effective collaboration. By combining automation with intelligent insights, these tools enhance consistency, efficiency, and fairness—empowering hiring teams to make better decisions and find the right people faster.
AI tools may be used to assist in the initial screening of applications. These tools can perform tasks such as Resume/CV parsing, skills matching, and candidate ranking based on predefined criteria. The purpose of using AI is to support human recruiters in identifying candidates whose qualifications align with the role. Final hiring decisions are always made by human personnel.
In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including those in jurisdictions such as the United States, Canada, the European Union, and others, applicants have the right to request a human review of any decision influenced by AI.
We take steps to help ensure that AI tools do not result in discriminatory outcomes, confirming that AI tools are designed and tested to prevent adverse impact based on protected characteristics such as age, gender, race, disability, or other legally protected attributes.
Personal data processed by AI tools is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Specifically:
As an applicant, you have the right to:
