Judgment at the scale the volume actually hits you.
Senior in-house recruiters carry 500–1,000 candidates per open role. CertAIn reads every one, ranks them with reasoning you can defend, and does it inside the compliance posture your legal team wants to see.
3.5 hours in bed is not exceptional — it’s the baseline.
A head of talent we interviewed described his week plainly: "I spent 3.5 hours in bed last night rejecting candidates." He's not the exception. Senior in-house recruiters review 10,000 to 15,000 resumes a month and give most of them thirty seconds. The best people get lost in the volume, the wrong ones get advanced, and the recruiter — the person whose judgment matters most — is the first thing the volume breaks.
Provenance: 2026-04-17 discovery call, Jordan, head recruiter at enterprise. "3.5 hours in bed" and "15,000 resumes in 30 days" both verbatim.
Four moments, one workflow.
1. Ranking reads every resume — full stack-ranked, with a paragraph of reasoning per candidate. No more "I have 136 applicants and Greenhouse won't stack-rank them" (Jordan, same call).
2. Interview prep per candidate — resume-grounded questions. Cuts the ten-minute prep to a one-minute review.
3. AI evaluation on finalists — structured write-ups that go to hiring managers without editing.
4. Interview analysis after the call — signal, gaps, next-step recommendation. Works from your notetaker's transcript.

Workflow-gated quality — why Analysis can’t run without Evaluation.
Every Interview Analysis requires a prior AI Evaluation on the same candidate. This isn't a pricing gimmick — it's how the output stays useful. An analysis without an evaluation baseline is thin signal at higher cost. Workflow gating is what keeps the AI's judgment quality up at volume, which is the whole point.
What to tell your GC — in one paragraph.
Frameworks covered
- NYC AEDT (Local Law 144): bias audit data export built in — structured CSV of AI action outcomes by candidate × JD, demographic-free by design, ready to hand an independent auditor.
- Illinois AIVIA: tenant-editable candidate AI disclosure template. Your legal team owns the language; CertAIn provides the default and the delivery path.
- EU AI Act (Annex III, high-risk hiring use): architectural human-oversight commitment — every AI output is a recommendation to a human, never an automated decision. Documented read-only at Settings → Compliance → AI Oversight, exportable for conformity review.
- SOC 2 Type II: on the roadmap — Type I audit targeted Q3 2026. Architecture documentation available today under NDA.
The short version your GC wants
CertAIn does not make hiring decisions. CertAIn produces reasoned recommendations that a human recruiter reviews and acts on. Every output is logged, attributable, and exportable. That line is the load-bearing one in all three regulatory regimes, and it's written into the architecture — not the marketing.

Two small things that matter at this scale
Tenant isolation, architecturally
Your data, your credits, your audit trail — isolated per tenant at the database layer (row-level security + tenant-scoped sessions). Architected from day one; formal SOC 2 Type I audit targeted Q3 2026. Detail on /security.
Transparent credit accounting
Every AI action writes an entry to the credit ledger with action type, resource, user, and cost. Month-end export to CSV. Finance and ops can both see what the tool actually did.
Your stack stays. We’re the judgment layer on top.
- Your ATS stays. Greenhouse (primary integration), then Ashby and Lever. CertAIn is the judgment layer on top.
- Your sourcer stays. If you use Gem, Juicebox, or LinkedIn Recruiter to find candidates, keep them.
- Your notetaker stays. Metaview, Otter, Fireflies, Read — paste transcripts into Interview Analysis and keep going.
- Your scheduler stays. Paradox, Calendly, GoodTime — we don't touch the calendar.
What we replace is the thirty seconds per resume at eleven at night.
