Article 11 Technical Documentation

- DocumentationCaptured Jun 7, 2026
AI Candidate Screening page states the technology is 'Ethical by Design' and 'backed up with comprehensive validation studies & compliance documentation,' but links no actual documentation.
- DocumentationCaptured Jun 7, 2026
Intelligent Assessment Scoring page claims the model is 'performance assessed using inter-rater reliability techniques as well as de-biasing procedures' and 'tested to ensure consistency with the scoring approach designed by government statisticians,' but offers only a marketing datasheet, no technical/validation pack.

Bias Audit Transparency
2 items40
- DocumentationCaptured Jun 7, 2026
Intelligent Selection page claims algorithms are 'optimised to ensure no adverse selection,' implying fairness testing, but cites no auditor, date, or downloadable audit.

Human Oversight Design
2 items55
- DocumentationCaptured Jun 7, 2026
AI Candidate Screening describes a 3-step flow where the recruiter reviews evidence and, 'If you disagree with the recommendation, the candidate's ranking is changed to reflect your decision,' an explicit human override; the tool 'summarises the evidence to support its recommendation.'
- DocumentationCaptured Jun 7, 2026
Intelligent Assessment Scoring states the tool 'is intended to support and not replace recruiters,' framing AI as decision support with human review retained.

§ 05 - Editorial notes
Company overview
Oleeo (formerly World Careers Network / WCN, founded 1995 and rebranded in 2018) is a UK-headquartered enterprise recruiting platform based in Wimbledon, London, with additional offices in New York and Vietnam. Its suite combines a multi-award-winning ATS and recruitment CRM with a 'Data Science' layer - Intelligent Selection (predictive five-star scoring of skills, cultural fit, offer-acceptance and retention probability), AI Candidate Screening, and Intelligent Assessment Scoring of free-text competency answers. The product is heavily marketed to high-volume and diversity-focused employers (finance, police, public sector, NHS, campus), positioning AI as a way to surface strong candidates who might be missed in manual review while 'reducing unconscious bias.'
Regulatory exposure
Oleeo's AI tools score and rank candidates for employment decisions, squarely placing them in scope of NYC Local Law 144 (as an AEDT) and the EU AI Act's high-risk Annex III employment category, with adjacent exposure to Illinois and Colorado AI-hiring rules. Oleeo markets itself as 'Ethical by Design' and claims algorithms 'optimised to ensure no adverse selection' and to 'deliver regulatory compliance to laws such as GDPR in the EU and EEOC in the US,' but it publishes no model/system card, no independent NYC LL 144 bias audit, no FRIA/deployer guidance, and no downloadable validation study. Its strongest verifiable evidence is operational (human-in-the-loop override, evidence-based explanations) and security-oriented (ISO 27001), not transparency documentation that a regulator or deployer could rely on.
Path to a higher score
The fastest gains are in bias-audit transparency and technical documentation: commission and publicly post an independent NYC LL 144-style bias audit (e.g., Warden AI, Holistic AI, BABL AI, DCI) with auditor and date, and publish the 'comprehensive validation studies' it repeatedly references but never links. Oleeo should add a model/system card and explainability statement describing data used and excluded, plus deployer-facing EU AI Act guidance (Art. 26/27, FRIA template) and an NYC LL 144 compliance page. A public trust/security center with a vulnerability-disclosure channel, status page, and ISO 27001 certificate would lift data-governance and post-market-monitoring scores from their current near-absence.
§ Regulatory frame
What applies to ats-integrated ai.
Ranking features are inside EU AI Act Annex III §4 (high-risk) and inside NYC Local Law 144 when they affect NYC-based candidates. Customers should treat the AI surface as a distinct deployer-FRIA scope from the rest of the ATS.
