Responsible AI
AI that helps people hire. Never AI that decides.
Talvenue’s AI assistance, powered by Anthropic’s Claude, takes on the drafting and summarizing. Every hiring decision stays with your team, and every safeguard is enforced in code.
Principles
Five commitments, built into the product.
Off by default
Every AI feature is off until a site admin turns it on, one feature at a time, for their company only.
No scoring or ranking
Nothing scores, ranks, rates fit, or recommends advancing or rejecting anyone. That capability isn’t built, and the admin page says it’s unavailable.
Human review, always
Every output is labelled “AI-generated, review before use,” and a person decides what to keep.
Logged and audited
Each request records the feature, model, user, status, tokens and cost, plus an audit entry. Prompts and answers aren’t stored in the log.
Budgeted
Set monthly limits per feature and a monthly budget for your company. When a limit is reached, the feature says so and sends nothing.
Minimal data
Names, contact details, links and addresses are removed from candidate text before it’s sent. EEO answers, accommodations, work authorization and location are never read.
Designed around NYC Local Law 144
Assistance, not an automated decision tool.
New York City’s Local Law 144 regulates automated employment decision tools: tools that score, classify or recommend candidates in ways that substantially assist hiring decisions. Similar rules exist in Colorado, Illinois and the EU AI Act.
Talvenue is designed so its AI does none of that. It drafts, summarizes, quotes and searches. It never produces a score, a ranking or a recommendation about a person.
Guardrails in code, not just policy. Prompts forbid evaluation and inferences about protected characteristics. Outputs with evaluative wording, gendered references or statements about protected characteristics are withheld. Interview questions on off-limits topics, such as age, family, origin, health or pay history, are dropped.
The tools
What the AI does, and what it hands back.
| Feature | What it does | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Job description writer | A draft post from the title, team, location and your notes, with an inclusive-language check. | Draft post you edit |
| Interview kit generator | Focus attributes and an interview plan suggested from the post’s responsibilities and requirements. | Suggestions you accept or change |
| Résumé parsing | Prefills application fields for the candidate to check, and staff records for staff to review. | Fields a person confirms |
| Reviewer summaries | Maps job requirements to direct quotations from the application. Name, contact details, links and addresses are removed before anything is sent. | Quotes, not judgments |
| Debrief summaries | Summarizes submitted scorecards as “Interviewer 1, 2…”, using only scorecards you can already see. Private notes are never sent. | A summary for the debrief |
| Email drafts | A draft message from a template, the job title and your notes. The candidate’s name is filled in afterwards. | A draft you send yourself |
| Careers Q&A assistant | Answers candidates’ questions from your published careers content and open roles. Answers must cite a source or say “not found.” Questions are not stored. | Cited answers or none |
| Semantic search | Find candidates by roles, education and skills from reviewed profiles. Never by names or contact details. | Search, not ranking |
