4.2. Provision of ID Verification Services by Third-Party ID Verification Providers. ProboTalent does not, itself, provide identity verification services (“ID Verification Services”). Rather, the Service provides access to certain Third-Party ID Verification Providers (“Third-Party ID Verification Providers”) such as ID.me, LLC (“ID.me”) and Persona Identities, Inc. (“Persona”) that provide ID Verification Services.  

4.3. Collection of Biometric Information in Connection with ID Verification Services. The processes used by the Third-Party ID Verification Providers may involve the collection of biometric data, including facial images and government-issued identification documents. Biometric data collected during identity verification is processed by the Third-Party ID Verification Providers and is not collected, processed or stored by ProboTalent or shared by ProboTalent with Customers or hiring decision-makers. Only the following information is collected and stored by ProboTalent and made available to Customers: Verification Outcome (ID verified/not verified), Verification Date and Liveness Check Result (confirming real person, not a deepfake). ProboTalent does not provide biometric data to Customers (or Customer authorized representatives) for use in connection with their employment decisions.

SECTION V – USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FEATURES 

 

5.1. Use of Artificial Intelligence. Certain features of the Service utilize artificial intelligence (“AI”) (such features being referred to herein as the “AI Features”). The AI Features use generative AI to help Customers create content that Designated Users of Customers (who are, by definition, human beings) may use in their evaluation of Candidates. For example, the AI Features allow Designated Users to generate a suggested company profile for the Customer in question, generate a suggested job description for the job in question, generate a suggested skills taxonomy that relates to the job in question and generate suggested questions to be asked of Candidates and related answers. The suggested company profile, suggested job description, suggested skills taxonomy and suggested questions and related answers are all generated without any reference to or evaluation of any specific Candidate(s), and must be reviewed and approved by a Designated User (that is, a human user) before use. The suggested skills taxonomy and suggested questions and related answers are based upon validated industrial-organizational psychology methodologies (“IO Methodologies”) and are designed to protect against bias. The AI features also prompt Candidates to give full answers to questions by employing standard STAR Method prompts (Situation, Task, Action and Result Method prompts). These prompts are not based upon any substantive evaluation of Candidates or their responses. Rather, the prompts are generic and are intended and designed to simply prompt Candidates to give full answers to questions. The AI features also include certain resume scanning functionality to identify the presence of key words. This functionality does not use AI to evaluate the content of resumes or the Candidates in question. The AI features also include certain programmatic job advertising functionality, which enables Designated Users to use AI in making job posting advertising spend decisions. This functionality does not relate to the evaluation of Candidates. You agree to use the AI Features in accordance with the foregoing intended use cases. 

5.2. Artificial Intelligence Features Not Intended to Make Hiring Decisions. 

You acknowledge that the AI Features are not intended to use artificial intelligence to generate output relating to specific Candidates, are not intended to use artificial intelligence to score or rank specific Candidates, and are not intended to use artificial intelligence to make, recommend or participate in hiring decisions pertaining to specific Candidates.  Rather, the AI Features are intended to use generative AI to produce general content that human users may use, in their judgement, along with other content, processes and interactions that humans commonly use in assessing employment candidates (such as interviews and references) and the human decision-makers' own judgment. The AI Features are generative in nature, not evaluative, and are not intended to use artificial intelligence to provide an evaluation of any specific Candidate. The AI Features are general in nature, and are intended to produce content that is designed for and based upon a given job classification.  The AI Features are not intended to, and may not be used to, produce content that is designed for or based upon any specific Candidate(s).  You agree to use the AI Features in accordance with the foregoing intended use cases.   

5.3. Artificial Intelligence Features Not Intended to Replace Human Decision Making. You acknowledge that the AI Features included within the Service are not intended to be used, and may not be used, to replace human decision making or to make hiring decisions pertaining to specific Candidates. You further acknowledge and agree that all content generated by the AI Features is intended to be used, and must be used, by human users (recruiters, hiring managers, and other authorized personnel) and must be reviewed and approved by human users of before use. You agree to use the AI Features in accordance with the foregoing intended use cases.   

5.4. Compliance with Artificial Intelligence Laws. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.6 above, you agree to comply with all laws pertaining to the use of artificial intelligence that apply to your use of the Service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree to (i) not use the AI Features to discriminate against any Candidate, (ii) not use the AI Features to replace human decision making in hiring and other employment related decisions, and (iii) not use the AI Features in a manner that impersonates another for deceptive purposes or conceals the fact a user is interacting with AI.  

5.5. Additional Provisions Relating to Compliance With Artificial Intelligence Laws. In addition to the general requirements set forth in these Terms and Conditions regarding your use of the Service, you agree to the Additional Provisions Relating to Compliance with Artificial Intelligence Laws attached hereto as Annex A. 

5.6 Compliance with Special Customer Terms Applicable to AI Features. In addition to the general requirements set forth in these Terms and Conditions regarding your use of the Service, you agree to the Special Customer Terms Applicable to AI Features – IBM Related Terms attached hereto as Annex B and the Special Customer Terms Applicable to AI Features – Google Related Terms attached hereto as Annex C (collectively, the “Special Customer Terms Applicable to AI Features”). 

5.7. Candidate Consent to Use of Artificial Intelligence. In addition to the other requirements set forth in this Section V regarding the use of AI Features, you agree to require Candidates to acknowledge and consent to the use of the artificial intelligence features in the Service in such form and substance as may be required under artificial intelligence laws that apply to you or your business. You may refer to the Consent to Use of Artificial Intelligence form attached as Annex B to the Candidate Terms and Conditions for reference purposes. 

5.8. Use of Auto-Advance Feature. The Service has an auto-advance feature that allows Designated Users (who are, by definition, human beings) to auto-advance candidates that have provided a specified number of correct answers (which answers have previously been approved by the human users) to a given number of questions (which questions have previously been approved by the human users), and to not advance candidates that have not provided the specified number of correct answers. The auto-advance feature does not use AI. Rather, the auto-advance feature is a simple numerical filter that human users may use to advance candidates whose number of correct answers equals or exceeds the numerical value (if any) set in the filter by the user, and does not advance candidates whose number of correct answers does not equal or exceed the numerical value (if any) set in the filter. The AI Features are not involved in determining to use the auto-advance feature, or setting a given filter threshold to be used, or determining if the threshold has been met, or determining which Candidates advance and which Candidates do not advance based upon the threshold. Human users must choose to enable the auto-advance feature and set whatever threshold they choose to use. You hereby agree that if you elect to use the auto-advance feature, you will do so in compliance with the foregoing intended use case and will do so in compliance with all applicable laws.
