Fair hiring, by design
Selene helps decide people's careers. We treat that responsibility seriously — with fairness, transparency, and data protection built into the core of the product, not bolted on as a compliance page.
How Selene keeps scoring fair
Blind by construction, not by instruction
Selene doesn't ask the model to ignore protected characteristics — it never receives them. Scoring runs on a blind, structured profile: the candidate's name is omitted, the raw CV text is dropped, and stated date of birth, age, sex, marital status, nationality, religion and ethnicity are redacted first. Location is included only where the role genuinely assesses it, since it doubles as a proxy for nationality. This removes those stated signals; it does not make any assessment bias-free, which is why human review sits on top of it.
Evidence-grounded, and shown
Every score is grounded in the candidate's own experience and your stated criteria — never an unsupported assertion. Each one comes as a criterion-level breakdown citing the evidence found, the gaps that remain, and how confident Selene is, so you can always check the reasoning rather than trust a number.
Versioned, not rewritten
Every score is pinned to the exact version of the scoring guide that produced it. Change the guide and affected scores are flagged as stale rather than silently updated — so the record of what you measured, and when, stays honest.
Human in control
You can override any decision at any time. The override — and the reason for it — is stored, so the record stays honest.
Your candidates' data stays yours
Not used to train models
Candidate data is used to do your screening — not to train foundation models. Your hiring is your business.
Right to be forgotten
On request, a candidate's resume file is deleted and personal identifiers are removed, while your non-identifying metrics stay intact.
Clear retention
Conversation and non-financial records follow a defined retention policy; financial records are retained for audit as the law requires.
Built to be trustworthy under the hood
Encrypted & access-controlled
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on Amazon Web Services, with role-based access so people only see what they should.
A decision record that lasts
Each candidate keeps their scores, the evidence behind them, and any human override with the reason it was made — so a hiring decision can still be explained long after it was taken. Critical actions are logged internally for traceability.
Billing integrity
Every billable action is idempotent and reconciled: no double-charges, and the ledger always matches your balance to the credit.
No surprise spend
A hard stop at zero balance means Selene never spends credits you don't have. Bulk actions confirm cost before they run.
A note on where we are
Selene is designed around privacy and responsible-AI principles from the ground up. We're actively maturing our formal compliance posture as we grow. If you have specific security, privacy, or data-processing requirements, we'd love to hear them.
Hire with confidence
Fair, explainable, and on the record — the way hiring decisions should be made.
