AI shortlisting in hireful ATS is a decision-support tool, not an automated decision-making system. Human recruiters make all shortlisting and hiring decisions, which is important for compliance with UK employment law and the Equality Act 2010. The transparent, criteria-based scoring also supports auditability if decisions are ever questioned.
