Frequently Asked Questions
Key questions often raised by business leaders and HR teams:
Who owns the final hiring decision?
Recruiters and hiring managers. AI provides structured evidence and early ranking support—not a replacement for human judgment.
Can we support bilingual hiring programs?
Yes. Configure languages, prompts, and rubrics to match regional and role requirements.
How do we document the process for internal audit?
Version rubrics, keep calibration notes, and align rationale fields with your records program—this article is not legal advice.
Pilot scope?
Start with one job family, clear KPIs, and 4–8 weeks to tune prompts and calibration.
ATS integration?
Define states and write-back early; see the ATS & HRIS integration article.
