Answer a candidate, a lawyer or the CNIL, with the facts.

Which tools processed an application, what each feature does according to the vendor, what it documents of its logic, what you had decided: the state of your HR tools on the date you are asked about, with its sources.

The question

Their questions, in their words:

  • A candidate asks which tools processed their application. What do you answer within the month?
  • A candidate asks how the tool processed them. Do we have what we need to answer?
  • The CNIL is asking about our recruiting tools: what do we show it?

Ojja does not answer for you. It gives you the facts to answer.

What Ojja shows you

  1. The state of your tools on a given date. On any date since your first readout: what was active, what the vendor said about it, what you had decided. The means to answer a candidate, a lawyer or an inspection.
  2. What each feature does, according to the vendor. Recommends, ranks, sorts, filters or rejects; human review documented or not; data used; training on your data; where it is processed. When the vendor says nothing, we write it: not documented by the vendor.
  3. What the vendor documents of its logic. For each feature that ranks, sorts or evaluates candidates or employees: the criteria and the data it uses, according to the vendor, with the address of the page read. Yes, partly or no; “not documented” as long as nothing is found.
  4. Where each fact comes from. Read in your tools, declared by you or inferred: each line says so, with its date. A feature's activation date stays “not read” until a reading or a dated declaration gives it.
  5. The answer to a candidate: the state of your HR tools on the day of their application.
  6. For a CNIL inspection. The AI part of an inspection: the features that touch personal data, what they read, where the vendor processes it, whether it trains its models on it, and the decisions recorded, with their dates and sources. A recruiting part covers your HR tools.

The texts the catalog links

  • The framework the catalog links to features that rank, sort or evaluate candidates or employees: the GDPR, Article 15(1)(h) and Article 22, with the points to review with your counsel.
  • The point to review that the line shows: “Can you explain to a candidate or an employee who asks the procedure and the principles the tool applies to their data? Does the vendor document its logic?”

Fictional example

A rejected candidate writes to a company: which tools processed their application, and how? Its recruiting software was found behind its website's careers link, then confirmed by the company; the company declared the activation date of the feature that sorts applications. The state of its HR tools on the day of the application shows this feature active, what the vendor says about it, and what it documents of its logic: partly, with the address of the page read. The company writes its answer.

What Ojja never does

  • Ojja reads no application, no resume, no evaluation.
  • Ojja records what the vendor documents; it does not say whether that is enough to answer.
  • Ojja does not say whether a tool discriminates, nor whether you are within the rules.

Ojja does not provide legal advice: it records and documents; how the law applies to your situation is for your counsel to determine.
