▥
Resume screening, rubric-first

⌬
Interview scheduling

“Asked the right questions about our design tokens setup. Already half-fixed it on the take-home.”— Eng-Lead
“Customer interview was the strongest signal. She made our beta user feel safe enough to admit our onboarding sucks.”— Customer panelist

— 09 / FAQ
— FOUNDER QUESTIONS
Sawaal jo har head of people poochta hai.
Will it bias screening? AI hiring is a minefield.
Three guardrails: (1) Name-blind by default — Cyborg never sees the candidate's name, photo, address, or pronouns during scoring. (2) Rubric-only — scoring is anchored to a structured rubric you define in kickoff (skills + outcomes + experience), no "vibes" scoring. (3) Audit trail — every reject decision is logged with which rubric dimensions failed. You can pull a fairness report any time. We follow EEOC + EU AI Act high-risk system disclosure standards.
Can it accidentally send the wrong offer?
No. Offers are T3-gated — founder reviews + signs every single one. Cyborg drafts using your offer template + comp band + role data. If anything is outside band (over-comp, under-comp, equity outside grid), Cyborg flags + halts. No autonomous offer will ever go out, even on a perfect match.
What about candidate data — GDPR, privacy?
EU customers' candidate data lives in EU-Frankfurt encrypted at rest, never transits US infrastructure. We're DPF + GDPR + SCC-compliant. DSAR / right-to-be-forgotten requests are T4 (founder + DPO). Every action on a candidate file is audit-logged with timestamp + actor (Cyborg / founder / hiring manager).
Will it replace my recruiter?
Honestly, the contract recruiter, yes — that 15-25% per-placement fee disappears. The internal People partner role doesn't disappear, it shifts: less coordination, more strategy. Most of our customers keep their senior People hire and replace 1-2 coordinator-level roles + their entire recruiter agency budget.
What if a candidate asks "is this AI?"
Cyborg always answers honestly: "I'm a Cyborg working with the [your] team. The hiring decision will always be made by humans on the panel. Want me to put you in touch with [name] for any human-only questions?" We've found candidates respond positively — transparency builds trust, and the hiring process moves faster, which they appreciate.
Can it terminate or fire someone?
Never alone. T4-protected. Cyborg can prep paperwork, schedule the conversation logistics, deactivate access (only after the meeting concludes — never before), draft the announcement to the team. The conversation itself is human-to-human, always. We've engineered it so Cyborg literally cannot trigger an account deactivation without a logged founder approval token.
How does it handle morale + churn signals without crossing lines?
Carefully. Signals are derived from observable team-level patterns (PR activity, calendar density, public Slack tone shifts), never from private DMs / private 1:1 notes. Memos to founder are anonymised: "an IC on the engineering team has shown X pattern over 14 days — might want a check-in." The founder + manager decide if it's worth a real conversation. No name appears in logs unless a human hiring/management decision is taken.
