Fair Hiring Practices with KitaHQ
KitaHQ supports more consistent and accountable candidate review through recruiter-defined job-related criteria, structured interviews, recruiter oversight and reviewable records. Outcomes also depend on employer configuration, criteria, safeguards and human use.

Our Product Approach
01
Job-Related Criteria
KitaHQ evaluates candidate answers against recruiter-defined, job-related criteria. Employers should ensure that each criterion is relevant to the role, clearly described and applied consistently.
02
Structured Interview Frameworks
Structured interviews help teams apply a common core question framework to candidates for the same role. Follow-up questions may vary based on the content or depth of a candidate’s answer. Employers remain responsible for configuring and applying the framework consistently.
03
Decision Support and Employer-Controlled Workflows
KitaHQ provides criteria-alignment scores, criteria-alignment rankings, summaries, AI-assisted assessments and reports for recruiter review. Criteria-alignment rankings indicate alignment with recruiter-configured criteria and support structured review; they are not predictions of future job performance or final hiring decisions. Employers control the criteria and workflow rules. KitaHQ does not automatically reject candidates, and an authorised recruiter must confirm any rejection or other adverse progression decision.
Employers may configure workflow rules that create interview invitations, reminders, manager-interview invitations or review requests when stated conditions are met. KitaHQ does not automatically reject candidates. An authorised recruiter must review relevant candidate evidence before confirming any rejection or other adverse progression decision. The employer remains responsible for each rule and confirmed decision.
