AI Hiring Defensibility

Defensibility is a system. Not a statement.

Most companies can’t explain how candidates are filtered because the logic is fragmented across recruiters, hiring managers, ATS settings, vendor models, and “helpful” automations. We rebuild a coherent decision story that stands up to internal audit, regulator questions, and legal discovery.

What we assess

Where AI touches the funnel (explicitly and implicitly)

  • What the system is optimized for (risk avoidance vs talent signal)

  • Adverse impact exposure and proxy risks

  • Accessibility and accommodation gaps

  • Documentation quality: logs, rationale, overrides, and approvals

  • Vendor opacity and control limitations.

You leave with a documented defensibility posture and a prioritized fix plan: what to change, who owns it, and how to prove it.
