Trust & posture

Defensible by artifact,
not by assertion.

AI hiring tools are getting audited — by the FTC, by the EEOC, by NYC, by GDPR regulators, by procurement. Most of them ship without the receipts. We’re building toward leading with them. Below is our honest posture: what’s built, what’s in progress, and what we won’t claim until it’s real.

The posture

What we operate under — and how literally to read each line.

Plain-English version. Architecture and runbooks available under NDA.
United States
Operates under FCRA

We treat candidate background screening as an FCRA-class workflow. Pre-adverse-action notice + dispute window are part of the design; the screening integration that fully automates this is queued for Phase 3 of the build. Until then, the FCRA workflow runs manually with the same artifact trail.

United States
EEOC bias-audit posture

Our scoring model is designed for fairness monitoring — protected-class log fields are in the schema and the impact-ratio reporting flow is ready to populate as cohort sizes grow. We don’t publish bias-audit numbers yet because the sample sizes per cohort are small enough that the headline stats would mislead more than inform.

New York City
Designed for NYC Local Law 144

The pipeline produces the artifacts an LL 144 audit asks for — protected-class breakdowns, candidate notification copy, AEDT documentation. We’ll formalise the published audit once we have a buyer in scope and the cohort sizes are statistically meaningful.

EU / California
GDPR & CCPA aware

Right to access, right to delete, right to object to automated decision-making. Our DSR workflow is human-handled today and will move to a self-serve endpoint as EU candidate volume grows. EU residency available on request — Supabase region targeting is configurable.

Marketing lens

Income disclaimer + Meta Special Ad Category.

Two compliance rails we run claims through before anything ships — applies to cyborgtalent marketing copy, partner-track materials, and trainee outcome stories.
Lens
Income disclaimer

No earnings claim — about the platform, a placement, a partner track, or a graduate — ships without sample-size context, time window, and the explicit statement that individual results vary. “Up to” / “as much as” framing is banned in cert criteria. Outcome stories must be traceable to a verified results-gate proof.

Lens
Meta Special Ad Category

cyborgtalent ads run under the Employment Special Ad Category on Meta — restricted targeting, no protected-class proxies, no narrow geo + age combinations that imply discrimination. Our paid acquisition team operates under that constraint by default. (For the avoidance of doubt: this site itself is not yet running Meta ads.)

The audit packet

What every placement ships with.

When procurement (or a regulator) asks how the placement decision was made, you have artifacts — not opinions.
Artifact
Six Cyborg Traits composite

Override Instinct · Brief Discipline · End-to-End Ownership · Honest Uncertainty · Pattern Recognition · Composure. Each scored with verbatim evidence from the application + sim.

Artifact
Live Skill Sim recording

Voice interview audio + transcript + post-call analysis. Signed-URL access (7-day default), longer windows on request.

Artifact
Cert Path artifacts

Every Tier 2 + Tier 3 deliverable, with the AI rubric score AND the manager / peer review notes attached.

Artifact
Authenticity Score

The Cyborg Trait composite, weighted 0–100, evolving across every cert event. Not a one-shot number — a signal that compounds.

Artifact
Tier 4 outcome correlation

Once placed, downstream client outcomes flow back. The audit packet updates with real performance data over time.

Artifact
Bias-audit ratios (cohort-level)

Tier 1 scoring impact ratios across protected classes, refreshed as cohort sizes reach the threshold for meaningful reporting. Available to your compliance team on request.

What we won’t claim yet

We didn’t add compliance last quarter. We’re building toward leading with it.

A few things adjacent platforms market loudly that we won’t say until they’re fully shipped:

  • SOC 2 Type II. Not certified. We operate against the Trust Services Criteria internally; control inventory is available under NDA. Formal audit is on the 2026 roadmap.
  • Published bias-audit numbers. Cohort sizes per role are still small enough that the headline numbers would mislead. Aggregate ratios are shared with active buyers under NDA.
  • FCRA-automated dispute flow. Manual today. Fully-automated dispute + re-review workflow is queued behind the background-check integration.
  • Income claims tied to placements. We don’t. We won’t until the results gate is live and the cohort sample is statistically meaningful.
Data handling

Where the data lives. How long it stays. Who can see it.

Quick summary below. The full legal privacy policy is operated by our parent company, Joburn Pte. Ltd. — read the canonical version at joburn.com/privacy. The Talent Platform section (§03A) covers cyborgtalent.com data specifically.
Residency

Supabase hosted with regional targeting. EU residency available. Audio recordings on signed-URL storage with TTL-based expiration.

Retention

Application + Tier 1 data: 24 months default. Cert artifacts: held while pool membership is active + 12 months. Sim recordings: 7-day signed URLs by default. All overridable per contract.

Access

Row-level security on every table. Cross-client data isolation by design. Buyer access scoped to their own placements. Operator access logged and reviewed.

FAQ

What buyers ask first.

Are you SOC 2 certified?
Not yet. Formal audit is on the 2026 roadmap. We operate against the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria internally — RBAC, change management, encryption-at-rest and in-transit, access review, incident response. We share the control inventory under NDA.
What happens when a candidate disputes their score?
Today, the dispute is human-handled by our hiring lead. The candidate is notified, has a 60-day window to respond, the Tier 1 + sim artifacts get re-reviewed, and the placement decision is paused until the dispute resolves. The fully automated FCRA-class flow is queued behind the Phase 3 background-check integration.
Do you publish your bias-audit results?
Aggregate impact ratios are shared with active buyers under NDA. We don’t publish them publicly because the protected-class sample sizes per cohort are still small enough that the headline numbers would mislead more than inform. We’ll publish once the sample sizes are statistically meaningful.
Can I get the raw audit packet for one of your placements?
Yes. Sample audit packets (anonymized) are available on request. For active placements, the full packet is delivered as part of standard onboarding.
What about EU candidates?
GDPR-aware by design. EU data residency available. Right to access, right to delete, right to object to automated decision-making — handled inside 30 days, with a documented DSR workflow that’s human-run today and moves to self-serve as EU volume grows.
Where can I see your terms?
Standard MSA + DPA + SCCs available on request. Contract terms scale with the engagement. Pricing is set 1:1 against your runtime on the intake call — see /jobsif you’re applying or hello@cyborgtalent.com if you’re hiring.

Bring the audit. We’ll bring the artifacts.
