Responsible AI in Recruitment

Outhire is committed to building AI that is fair, transparent, and accountable. Hiring decisions shape lives - our technology is designed to earn the trust of both candidates and employers.

Our principles

These commitments guide every model we train, every feature we ship, and every candidate interaction.

Fairness

Consistent screening criteria applied equally to every candidate. Our AI evaluates skills and qualifications - never demographics, background, or personal characteristics.

Transparency

Candidates always know when they are interacting with AI. Scoring is explainable, and hiring teams can see exactly how each candidate was evaluated.

Human Oversight

AI assists decisions - it never makes them. Every shortlist, every hiring call, and every offer stays in human hands. AI handles the repetitive work so people can focus on people.

Privacy

Candidate data is handled in accordance with SOC 2, GDPR, and CCPA. We never train models on customer data, and candidates retain full control over their information.

How we build responsibly

Ethical AI is not a checkbox - it is an ongoing practice embedded in our engineering and product processes.

Bias testing and monitoring

We continuously test screening outcomes across demographic groups to detect and correct any unintended bias before it reaches candidates.

Structured evaluation criteria

Every screening is grounded in role-specific, structured criteria - not free-form gut feelings. This ensures consistent, defensible assessments for every applicant.

Regular audits of screening outcomes

We review aggregated screening data on a regular basis to verify that our models are performing fairly and that outcomes align with the criteria set by hiring teams.

Candidate rights

Candidates can opt out of AI screening at any time, request deletion of their data, and receive an explanation of how their application was evaluated.

Compliance

Outhire is SOC 2 compliant and built to meet GDPR and CCPA requirements. We maintain rigorous data protection standards so your candidates' information is always secure.
