Ethical AI
Our Ethics Pledge to You
At Tenacor LLC, we believe that talent is the key differentiator for any organization. We are committed to helping our clients attract and hire the best talent, faster and more effectively. The positive impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and data on talent acquisition processes is undeniable, but ethical concerns regarding the use of these technologies are growing as quickly as the innovations themselves.
As technology continues to enhance human productivity, it’s vital that businesses lead the way in defining ethical practices in AI and talent acquisition. We aim to establish a strong ethical foundation that ensures progress without compromising integrity or standards. Our ethics pledge reflects this commitment, guiding us to use technology in ways that enhance efficiency, promote fairness, and improve stakeholder experiences.
We will continue to collaborate closely with our clients, tailoring our solutions to their unique needs while aligning with shared ethical principles. This approach ensures that our solutions not only meet business goals but also uphold the highest ethical standards.
Our Position on Ethical AI in Talent Acquisition
We believe that no technology or method should be used in the hiring process without thorough research and evaluation. We pledge to use only technology that has been carefully vetted, adhering to the following core principles:
- Transparency and Explainability
We prioritize transparency, ensuring that candidates understand the significance, purpose, and privacy of each step in the hiring process. We will be clear with clients about the technologies we use and will avoid “black box” AI that does not meet international standards, such as those set by the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD).
- Fairness
We rigorously assess each feature to eliminate bias and prevent the amplification of existing biases in the hiring process. We are committed to offering solutions that promote fair, measurable, and legal hiring practices.
- Robust, Secure, and Safe
Our AI systems are designed to be robust, secure, and safe throughout their lifecycle. We implement comprehensive security measures, including privacy, bias mitigation, and digital security, to ensure that our technologies function appropriately without posing undue risks.
- Accountability
We believe that all parties involved in AI projects must be accountable for the proper functioning of these systems. This includes respecting the ethical principles outlined above and ensuring that AI systems operate in line with best practices.
Using Assessments in the Hiring Process
We recognize that assessments can play a vital role in the candidate experience. However, assessments must be introduced thoughtfully and respectfully. From a candidate’s perspective, assessments should be relevant, clear, and non-invasive. Well-designed assessments not only improve the hiring process but also enhance self-awareness for candidates.
We aim to minimize the time required to complete assessments and ensure that the process is engaging and comfortable for candidates.
A People-Centered Approach
At Tenacor LLC, we cultivate a culture of respect for job seekers. When we ask candidates to invest their time in an assessment, we want that investment to be meaningful. Each assessment is designed to measure the candidate's fit for the given position. We advise our clients on the appropriate use of assessments, ensuring that they align with specific job roles and that the resulting data is meaningful.
Bias Audit & Compliance with Local Regulations
In line with our commitment to ethics and transparency, we strive to stay compliant with local regulations surrounding the use of AI in hiring. As part of this commitment, Tenacor LLC conducts bias audits of our technology by independent auditors.
