HR Technologies
Our use of innovative HR technologies for talent matching and services
Our ultimate goal is to support people and organizations in realizing their true potential. We believe that the best way to achieve that goal is by combining our passion for people with the power of today’s HR technologies. By HR technologies, we mean technologies that help us digitize and enhance a variety of recruitment-related processes.
As part of the larger recruitment process, HR technologies allow us to connect candidates more quickly to our consultants. This, in turn, allows our consultants to better support candidates in exploring jobs and to deliver the right candidates more quickly to our internal teams. HR technologies also allow our consultants to find people based not only on the jobs they qualify for but also on the basis of jobs they are interested in.
Improving the internal recruitment experience
HR technologies help us to search through a broader and more diverse set of candidates so that we become even better at finding the best talent with the most relevant skill-set for our internal teams. Thanks to these technologies, our consultants can focus on the tasks that require genuinely human traits that technology cannot emulate: creativity and emotion.
Web beacons
Our emails may contain a single, campaign-unique “web beacon pixel” to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email. We may use this information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to users, to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them, and to inform our advertisers in aggregate how many users have clicked on their advertisements. The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email. If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should select to receive emails from us in plain text rather than HTML.
Responsible use of HR technologies
Precision Merge is committed to the ethical and responsible use of innovative HR technologies (you can read our AI principles here). Precision Merge does not use these technologies as a substitute for humans or human interaction in any part of its processes. Instead, our use of HR technologies is intended to make interactions with internal teams and candidates more personal, relevant, and meaningful.
We strive to involve human beings whenever we make decisions that significantly impact you. If, in exceptional cases, we were to make such decisions based on a fully automated process (i.e., without the involvement of humans), we will only do so where that is permitted by law and after having notified you.
To ensure all candidates are treated fairly, we take steps to avoid bias where we use HR technologies. For example:
We regularly test the output created by these technologies to identify potential unfair bias. We regularly obtain expert advice to continuously improve the way in which we identify and remove bias. Both our consultants and our search and match algorithms are thoroughly trained and always work together.
