Inside the Audit: How Braintrust AIR Was Tested

To ensure fair and unbiased outcomes, the audit evaluated two core components of our system:

1. AI Interview Grading

• Tested 400 identical résumés with demographic cues (e.g., names, pronouns) across race and gender.
• All received identical or near-identical scores, with no measurable differences.
• 100% selection rate across all groups confirms no disparate impact.
  
  

2) AI Matching Algorithm

• Profiles were matched to a job based on experience and skills.
• AI returned the same match score across all demographic variants.
• Result: No demographic factors influenced the match outcome.

3) Data Privacy and Transparency

• Full GDPR compliance: Explicit consent, data minimization, and the right to be forgotten were all verified.
• Full EEOC compliance: Human oversight was confirmed, and 100% of demographic subgroups met the 80% rule.
• Secure logging and audit trails are maintained for every decision.

Why This Matters for Employers in NYC and Beyond

The results are especially significant in light of NYC Local Law 144, which requires independent audits of Automated Employment Decision Tools (AEDTs) used in hiring. Braintrust AIR meets these standards—and more.

• Treats every candidate equally.
• Requires no internal system integration (yet integrates with your existing ATS).
• Protects candidate data with no PII usage or third-party model sharing.
• Includes human oversight in all final decisions.
