What changes when it is recruitment & hr tech

A RAG system that cannot cite its source is a liability. Every answer we ship points back to the page it came from, so a reader can verify in one click.

In recruitment & hr tech, any screening automation must be tested for bias and be explainable to a rejected candidate. That single fact reshapes how rag & knowledge retrieval has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is interview note summarisation, usually integrated against background verification services. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

Is AI screening legal?

In India, with care; under the EU AI Act hiring is classified high-risk with specific obligations. Either way, bias testing, explainability and human review of rejections are the baseline we build to.

How do you prevent bias?

Testing outcomes across demographic groups, excluding proxy features, and keeping a human decision on every rejection. We report the test results rather than asserting fairness.

RAG or fine-tuning?

RAG for knowledge that changes and must be cited; fine-tuning for style, format and task behaviour. Most production systems use RAG for the facts and light fine-tuning or few-shot prompting for the form.

How accurate will it be?

We build a labelled question set from your domain and report retrieval precision and answer accuracy against it. That number is the deliverable. We do not ship a system whose quality nobody has measured.

Can it respect our existing permissions?

Yes. Retrieval is filtered by the user's actual entitlements, so the assistant can never surface a document the user could not already open.
