FAQ
In validation testing, match scoring shows strong agreement with human recruiter judgment, with AI often catching nuances humans miss, like adjacent-language transferability. The auto-decline threshold is tuned conservatively so borderline candidates are never auto-rejected. Hiring managers review the middle band as a final filter.
Bias detection is designed to improve pipeline diversity over time. Mechanism: surfaces sourcing gaps + screening biases + interview-loop patterns, with specific guidance per flag. Not a magic fix — works because it makes biases visible + actionable.
Yes — match score includes specific skill matches with evidence quotes from resume. Recruiter sees: "Python: confirmed (5 yrs, 3 jobs). Distributed systems: implied (Kafka work, AWS architecture). React: not mentioned in resume." Auditable per-decision.
Mixed reception. Trade-off: faster process + more transparent rubric vs less personal touch. For executive / senior roles, keep live phone screens. For volume hiring (junior/mid), async video is generally preferred by recruiters for the time savings.
Aeion Singularity's Greenhouse connector imports candidates, applications, jobs, and interview scorecards. Most migrations complete in 2-4 weeks. Hybrid mode supported (legacy reqs close in Greenhouse, new reqs in Aeion).
2-year auto-purge of expired records (7 years for hired candidates, to cover tax/employment recordkeeping). Right-to-be-forgotten deletes the candidate's data — application, interviews, scorecards, offers, resume scores — across every collection it touches. Data export (JSON/PDF) on-demand. Consent management with revocation tracking. Included in both the Starter and Pro tiers.
Yes — via Aeion Spatial's WebXR meeting rooms. Candidates and interviewers join via browser (no VR required); VR enhances if headset available. Useful for senior + remote roles where in-person impractical.
Aeion Forms can host custom coding assessments. Or integrate Codility / HackerRank / CoderPad via API. Per-candidate score lands in their record alongside resume + video interview + interviewer scorecards.
Aeion Recruit's pipeline and offer-template system is configurable per job, so contract roles can use their own stages, offer letter template, and background-check requirements alongside full-time reqs.
