This tool gives us a helpful starting point, but it never makes a final hiring decision on its own. Our hiring team always reviews the information to decide who moves forward.

In compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, this tool is reviewed regularly to ensure it does not produce biased or discriminatory outcomes. Where required, it also undergoes an independent annual bias audit, and a summary of the most recent audit will be made publicly available.Candidates that are retained will be contacted for an interview.
