Use of Hiring Technology
As part of our recruitment process, we may use technology-assisted tools, including artificial intelligence (AI), to help review applications and identify candidates whose qualifications align with the requirements of the role. AI can assist us in evaluating skills, qualifications, experience, or certain keywords. These tools support, but do not replace, human review and decision-making.

While interviewers may record and transcribe interviews using AI tools, we do not utilize AI to evaluate or analyze interview videos. Recording of interviews is done solely for the purpose of note-taking or transcribing the conversation, and human review is conducted of the notes prior to connecting them with an applicant's file. The organization does not utilize Automated Employment Decision Tools to conduct video analysis of any recorded interviews, and is fully compliant with New York City Local Law 144.
