Automated Decision-Making

We use automated tools within our applicant tracking platform (Ashby) that apply AI-generated criteria to evaluate applicants against defined qualifications for open roles. These criteria may include factors such as educational background, relevant experience, and responses to application questions.

Automated evaluations are used to assist — not replace — human judgment. All hiring decisions are reviewed and made by a human member of our recruiting or hiring team.

As a California resident, you have the right to request human review of any automated evaluation that affected your application. To make such a request, please contact us at Privacy@traba.work

How Long We Retain Your Information

We retain applicant personal information for a period of 5 years following the close of a recruiting process, whether or not an offer was extended.
