TRUST & TRANSPARENCY
Trust starts with clarity about what a system does and does not do.
TRUST is the supporting trust and governance layer around MATCH → DECIDE → VERIFY. It is not a fourth product pillar, but it sets boundaries for information, verification and human decision-making.
What HIRQ should not do
- No autonomous hire/reject decision
- No personality or emotion inference from CV, text, photo or video for ranking
- No assumption that public data is automatically free to reuse
- No blanket trust badge from a single verification
- No sensitive documents in an unsecured public intake
What does matter
- Purpose and provenance of information
- Data minimisation
- Human review
- Correction and challenge where relevant
- Permission and authority
- Evidence status per important data point
- Recruitment-fraud signals without automatic accusation
