FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01Is AI screening fair?
Fairness requires careful design: only job-relevant criteria, no protected characteristics, human decisions, and regular audits. We treat AI in hiring as assistive only.
02Can employees ask it personal questions?
It can answer general policy questions. Personal, sensitive, or confidential matters are routed straight to HR.
