PageUp, a global leader in talent acquisition software, today announced the results of an independent audit by Warden AI, an AI assurance platform that helps organizations certify and continuously monitor AI systems for compliance and accountability. Monthly audits have confirmed that PageUp’s AI systems meet Warden AI’s highest standards of fairness and transparency, as well as those for disparate impact and consistency.
The audit evaluated elements of PageUp’s AI capabilities to ensure alignment with evolving employment-related AI regulations and civil rights requirements through independent benchmarking, ongoing technical audits, and dual-method bias testing methodologies, including disparate impact and counterfactual analyses. Warden AI tests for equality of outcomes across demographic groups and equal treatment of individuals. Because LLMs are constantly changing, systems audited by Warden AI are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure continued compliance with both Warden AI’s standards and global standards, including NYC Local Law 144, the EU AI Act, Colorado SB205, and California FEHA.
“AI is moving faster than most organizations can evaluate it, especially in hiring, where the stakes are incredibly high,” said Eric Lochner, CEO of PageUp. “The industry has spent a lot of time talking about AI innovation but proving how these systems are being held accountable in real-world environments is often left by the wayside. Warden AI’s independent audit of PageUp’s solutions helps us move from promises to evidence, which is what enterprise customers are increasingly looking for from their providers.”
HiringThing, the leading white label applicant tracking system (ATS), today announced the launch of the next generation of their platform, featuring a Visual Candidate Pipeline, AI Candidate Ranking, and Workflow Management, alongside two new plan tiers: Essential and Pro.
The launch comes as employers face a paradox in today’s labor market: job openings remain plentiful, yet average time-to-fill has stayed above 30 days. At the same time, high-volume roles routinely attract hundreds of applications that hiring teams cannot review fast enough.
The next generation of HiringThing gives hiring teams three things they’ve consistently said they need: a faster way to surface strong candidates from a crowded applicant pool, a clearer view of where every candidate stands at any moment, and less time spent on the manual coordination that slows offers down. AI Candidate Ranking is designed to guide and accelerate human decision-making. Hiring decisions remain firmly with the people who know their teams and culture best. The result is a platform that largely eliminates the bottlenecks that cost employers top talent: slow triage, missed follow-ups, and inconsistent processes.
Plans built for every stage of growth
The new Essential and Pro tiers ensure every employer gets the right level of functionality. Smaller teams get a clean, complete hiring experience out of the box. Higher-volume and multi-location employers get AI-powered features that scale with their complexity.
“A small employer hiring ten people a year needs something clean and simple,” said Jess Tejani, COO. “A multi-location employer hiring fifty people a quarter needs AI, automation, and custom workflows. We built both on the same platform.”
