Hirehoot may use AI models to assist in matching and relevance checks, but no final decisions are made without human validation. Hirehoot’s verification process uses only the information you choose to provide (such as your CV or LinkedIn profile), and public information where applicable. Our team reviews profiles manually, supported by internal tools that assist, but do not replace human decision-making.

If you have any concerns about how your data is used, or if you wish to request access, correction, or deletion, you can contact us at info@hirehoot.net

Remember, at Hirehoot, we celebrate the unique value that each professional brings to the table. We're committed to fostering an inclusive platform that recognises diverse forms of leadership and expertise. Thank you for being part of our community!
