Trust & safety

Individual ownership

Career data in CareerID belongs to the individual — not their employer, not CareerID. Individuals control what is visible in each view and can revoke access at any time.

Consent-based sharing

Nothing is shared without explicit consent. Consent grants are scoped (to a specific organisation), time-limited, and revocable. The employer view is never accessible without an active consent grant.

Responsible AI

AI assists — it never decides. AI-generated content is always labelled, always derived from documented evidence, and never used to make automated decisions about individuals. Human oversight applies throughout.

• No inference of protected characteristics
• No black-box scoring
• No automated shortlisting or rejection
• All AI summaries are editable by the individual

Standards alignment

• Designed in alignment with the EU AI Act (2024/1689)
• ESCO-aligned skill taxonomy (European Skills Classification)
• GDPR-compliant consent and data portability
• ISO 30414 — Human Capital Reporting
• Designed in alignment with the UK Digital Identity & Attributes Trust Framework

“Designed in alignment with” means our architecture reflects these standards. We do not claim certification or approval from any standards body.

Fairness by design

Skills-first architecture is inherently more equitable than keyword-matching or CV screening. CareerID makes skills visible regardless of educational background, career path, or employment history.

• Career breaks, caring, and volunteering are treated as real experience
• Non-linear careers are supported, not penalised
• No inference of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, or any protected characteristic
