Our commitment to the use of ethical AI to help recruiters
At Screened, we recognize the potential of AI to transform recruiting. Our goal is to teach and promote ethical practices by sharing what we've learned and building tools that help recruiters make decisions based on merit and qualifications.
1. Designing AI systems for fairness and objectivity
How does Screened promote fairness in hiring?
We design algorithms that provide objective candidate recommendations based on detailed assessments. By focusing on qualifications and structured criteria, we help our customers make decisions that align with their goals while promoting fairness in the process. Our role is to provide insights, not to replace human judgment.
How do we help mitigate bias?
As part of our recruiting expertise, we regularly test and refine our systems to identify areas where bias could appear, using data and feedback to improve outcomes. However, we know no system is perfect, so we encourage decisions based on clear, objective metrics to reduce the risk of subjective bias.
2. Crafting great candidate-first AI experiences
What choice do candidates have?
Candidates can choose to interview with Screened's AI recruiter or opt for the company's traditional hiring route. This allows candidates to feel comfortable with the process and ensures that everyone has a fair opportunity to showcase their qualifications.
How is consent obtained for interviews conducted by Screened's AI recruiter?
We obtain clear and explicit consent at the time candidates schedule an interview. This ensures candidates fully understand the process and how their data will be used. We follow PDPA guidelines to ensure transparency in the consent process for taking a screen call with our AI interviewer.
3. Using AI to be supportive for recruiters and candidates alike
How does Screened provide transparency?
We share clear and actionable insights with talent teams to help them understand how recommendations are made. This includes objective assessments based on skills and qualifications, helping recruiters feel confident in making decisions while keeping the process fair and accountable.
What information is available to candidates?
We believe in supporting candidates by offering constructive feedback where possible. This helps candidates understand how they can improve and prepares them for future opportunities, fostering a positive experience regardless of the outcome.
4. Continuous improvements to ethical AI recruitment tools
How does Screened refine its systems?
We are constantly learning from feedback and improving our AI systems and operational workflows based on insights from our users and best practices in the field and quickly adapt to new challenges to evolve our tools to better serve both candidates and recruiters more effectively than traditional hiring methods.
How do we approach ethical challenges?
We focus on practical, actionable steps to address ethical challenges when using AI tools for recruitment goals. By sharing our technical knowledge and encouraging structured decision-making for recruiters through objective recommendations, we aim to empower our customers to adopt hiring practices that are fair, transparent, and focused on merit at the top of the funnel.
5. Feedback
The use of AI technology in recruitment is new and ever evolving. We welcome input from candidates, recruiters, and the worldwide community to plan, measure, and improve the industry's best practices for using AI to help recruiters to meet their hiring goals.
