How we solve it
HumanBaseIQ Starter automates the first 80% of candidate screening by parsing CVs and ranking applicants against your defined role criteria, transparently showing why each candidate scores as they do. This removes manual bias and frees your team to focus on meaningful interviews. As a high-risk AI system under EU AI Act Article 6, we log all shortlisting decisions so you stay compliant.
What you achieve in 30 days
Within 30 days, your team cuts CV review time from 3–4 weeks to 3–5 days per role and interviews only pre-qualified candidates, reducing time-to-hire by up to 70%. You'll also have an auditable record of every shortlisting decision.
How this product keeps improving
HumanBaseIQ continuously refines its shortlisting logic through audit trails of your hiring outcomes—we track which shortlisted candidates you actually hire or reject, and use that feedback to improve accuracy for future roles. You also control weighting adjustments in real time, ensuring the system adapts to your team's evolving standards.
FAQ
Does HumanBaseIQ Starter integrate with our existing ATS?Yes. You can export shortlisted candidate data (name, score, key qualifications) as CSV or connect via API to popular ATS platforms. If your system isn't listed, contact us to discuss a custom integration.
What happens when my recruitment campaign ends? Do I lose the data?No. All candidate data, decisions, and audit logs are retained in your account for 12 months, so you can review hiring history, re-engage candidates, or refine your criteria for future roles.
Is there a contract lock-in, or can I cancel any time?You can cancel anytime with 14 days' notice. There's no long-term contract required; we bill monthly at £149. If you pause a campaign, your subscription continues but you're only charged for active roles.
How do you handle GDPR and EU AI Act compliance?HumanBaseIQ Starter is aligned with UK GDPR and complies with EU AI Act Article 6 (high-risk AI) requirements: we log all shortlisting decisions, allow you to override recommendations, and never use candidate data for purposes beyond this specific recruitment workflow. All data is stored in UK/EU data centres and encrypted at rest.
