XBInsight Talent Assessments for ADP Workforce Now®

How we use AI

• 
  What AI Does: AI is used to highlight candidate patterns from assessment data, not from resumes or CVs. This includes identifying strengths and summarizing a candidate's assessment results, predicting fit, performance, and long-term potential based on role-specific benchmarks.
  
  What AI Does Not Do: We do not use AI to calculate scores or to evaluate resumes, CVs, or free-text job applications. Our focus is on behavioral and competency-based data, not keywords or formatting.
• 
  Human Oversight: AI highlights candidate trends, but HR professionals and hiring teams always make the final selection and send offer letters.
• At XBInsight, our platform leverages advanced artificial intelligence (AI) in combination with 20+ years of industrial-organizational (I/O) psychology to enhance hiring, development, onboarding, succession planning, and coaching decisions. We are committed to ethical, responsible, and scientifically grounded AI deployment throughout the talent lifecycle.
  
  Here's where and how we use AI in our hiring assessments:

Our Ethical Commitment

• Science First: All assessments are created and maintained by I/O psychologists, tested regularly for accuracy, fairness, and relevance across industries and roles.
  Bias-Conscious Design: AI is only applied after data is collected through validated science-backed assessments, not through subjective or unstructured sources like resumes or social media.
  Transparency & Human Oversight: Across the talent lifecycle, from hiring to development to succession, AI enhances decision-making with data-driven insights at every stage.
  
  XBInsight integrates advanced AI with validated behavioral science to augment, rather than replace, human expertise. Our platform delivers data-driven insights that support precise, evidence-based talent decisions.
