AI transparency

How Cal.tn uses AI — and what that means for you

Most of what this industry publishes about AI fairness is written for the company buying the software. This page is written for you, the person being assessed.

Where AI is involved

CV screening. When you apply, your CV is scored against the job description to produce a match percentage.
AI interviews. Some employers run a first interview conducted by an AI agent. It asks the questions, records your answers and scores them.
Assessments. Technical tests can be generated and corrected automatically.

Where a decision can be automatic

An employer using Cal.tn can set a minimum match score. If your CV scores below it, your application can be rejected automatically, without a person having looked at it first.

We are telling you this because it is true and because you are entitled to know it, not because we think it is ideal. Two things are worth knowing alongside it: the threshold is chosen by the employer, not by us; and when your CV cannot be read at all — a scanned or image-only PDF, most often — your application is flagged for a human to review rather than rejected.

Everything after that stage is a human decision. An AI interview produces a score and a report; it does not hire, reject or rank you into a shortlist on its own. A recruiter reads it and decides.

What we do with what you give us

We do not sell your data. Your CV, your answers and your results are not sold or shared with third parties for their own purposes.
We do not train models on your CV. Your documents are processed to produce your result, not to improve a model that other people will use.
The free ATS check stores nothing at all. It runs in your browser request and keeps no copy of what you pasted.
You can ask for an export or a deletion. Write to us and we will tell you what we hold about you and remove it.

The specifics, including retention periods, are in our privacy policy.

What you can ask for

To know whether an AI was involved in a decision about you — the answer is on this page, and you can always ask the employer directly.
To have a person look at your application. We cannot compel an employer to do it, but you are entitled to ask, and under EU law, for a decision made by automated means alone, you are entitled to human intervention.
A copy of your data, or its deletion.

Write to contact@cal.tn and say what you want. We answer.

What we do not claim

We have not had our models independently audited for bias. Several larger competitors have, and publish the results; we have not, and saying otherwise would be easy and dishonest. What we can tell you is where AI is used, what it decides, and what it does not — which is this page.
