[ The problem ]

An AI score is not an explanation.

Your recruitment AI might tell you:

80%match

But can you answer:

?

Why 80%?

?

Which requirements were actually evidenced?

?

Which were inferred?

?

What did the AI miss?

?

Would another AI reach the same conclusion?

?

Can you explain the decision to a recruiter, candidate, client or auditor?

One number can't answer any of them.

AI Hiring Audit gives you an independent second assessment — with the reasoning behind the number.

[ How it works ]

Same JD. Same CVs. Now compare the reasons.

Run the same job and candidates through your current tool. Compare the number, then compare what each score can explain.

[ What we check ]

Five checks your AI can't run on itself.

An AI scoring its own work is marking its own homework. Our independent engine audits every dimension that matters — with the evidence to prove it.

We independently score every candidate, giving you a second number to compare with your AI’s — so material differences can be reviewed before a hiring decision.

Each mandatory criterion in your JD is checked candidate-by-candidate. Met, partially met, or no evidence — stated plainly, never averaged away.

Our score comes with the exact CV evidence behind it, so you can inspect and challenge differences. No black box, no "trust the model".

Our assessment weighs skills and evidence — never gender, age or ethnic cues. Compare our evidence-backed breakdown with your AI’s scores to investigate potential bias signals.

Our audit applies the same criteria to every candidate, every time — a stable, repeatable benchmark to test your AI’s numbers against.

Every audit scores each candidate across eight dimensions — plus an overall score, with the evidence behind every number.
