Editorial notes

Company overview

X0PA AI, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Singapore (founder/CEO Nina Alag Suri, with offices in India, the UK, the UAE and the USA), is a B2B AI recruitment platform that automates sourcing, screening, assessment and scheduling across an applicant-tracking workflow. Its differentiator is predictive candidate scoring - proprietary BRIQ Score and Suitability Score models that rank candidates on skills, experience and 'future potential'- alongside the X0PA ROOM video-interview/assessment product, an AI-for-Academia admissions tool, and an 'Inclusive Hiring' mode featuring CV masking. The company markets itself heavily on 'responsible and explainable AI' and on eliminating hiring bias.

Regulatory exposure

X0PA's automated scoring and ranking of candidates makes it an Automated Employment Decision Tool under NYC Local Law 144 and a likely high-risk system under the EU AI Act. The company markets NYC LL 144 'support' and EU AI Act 'readiness,' and is endorsed under Singapore's IMDA AI Verify framework - but AI Verify is a self-run governance/testing toolkit, not an independent third-party bias audit, and no NYC-style bias audit, model card, or AI Verify results report is publicly downloadable. Its strongest verifiable assets are data-governance certifications (SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001-aligned, IMDA Data Protection Trustmark) and an explicit statement that sensitive attributes such as gender and ethnicity are excluded from its models.

Path to a higher score

Publish an independent, dated bias audit (e.g., BABL AI, Holistic AI, or Warden AI) as a downloadable summary plus a matching NYC LL 144 audit at a public URL; release public model cards / an AI Verify testing summary and a standalone explainability statement; provide a FRIA template or explicit EU AI Act Article 27 deployer-obligation guidance; pursue ISO 42001; and stand up a public status/monitoring page and a security-disclosure channel. Most of X0PA's governance claims are currently asserted on marketing pages or gated behind 'available on request' rather than published and verifiable.

Regulatory frame

What applies to assessment AI.

Assessment is the most-regulated surface in AI hiring. NYC LL 144, EEOC and OFCCP frameworks, Illinois HB 3773, and EU AI Act Annex III §4 all apply, with overlap on bias-audit obligations.
