Operating principles

Compliance isn't a feature we added. It's the architecture.

CL. 01 — TRANSPARENCY

Every score is explainable

Each candidate assessment shows exactly which rules fired, which skills matched, and why. No black box, no "the model decided." Your client asks why — you answer in one click.

CL. 02 — REPRODUCIBILITY

Same input, same output

The extraction and scoring engine is fully deterministic. Re-run any assessment months later for an audit and get byte-identical results. Try that with an LLM-based screener.

CL. 03 — AUDITABILITY

A trail regulators can read

Every action is logged against a formal assessment schema aligned with EU AI Act traceability requirements. Export the full audit trail per candidate or per role.

CL. 04 — DATA MINIMISATION

Candidate data stays in the EU

No candidate data is sent to third-party AI providers — because there are none in the pipeline. Processing is GDPR-scoped by design, with per-candidate deletion on request.

A deliberate choice

Why we don't use AI to read CVs.

Every screening tool on the market added a language model between your candidates and your shortlist. It reads the CV, forms an impression, and gives you a score it cannot explain and will not repeat.

Under the EU AI Act, CV screening is a high-risk application. High-risk means you must be able to show your work — to candidates, to clients, to regulators. An impression is not work you can show.

So we made the unfashionable choice: a rules engine you configure, that does exactly what it says, every single time. Less magical. Entirely defensible.
