Winston AI Governance for SmartRecruiters
Winston AI Governance: Responsible AI in Hiring
Winston AI is the engine that makes SmartRecruiters' candidate-experience and recruiter-productivity story work: and it is also the surface that regulators look at first. EC Experts treats Winston AI governance as a first-class deliverable: bias controls, candidate transparency, recruiter override, and audit trails, designed to Quebec Law 25, the EU AI Act, UAE PDPL and Saudi PDPL.
A governance model regulators recognize
EC Experts produces a Winston AI governance pack as a standard deliverable: AI inventory, risk classification, bias-testing methodology and results, candidate-facing notices in EN/FR/AR, recruiter-override workflow definitions, retention rules, and audit-trail evidence.
For Canadian customers we map controls to Quebec Law 25 automated-decision provisions. For EU exposure we map to the AI Act's high-risk classification for hiring. For GCC we map to UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 and Saudi PDPL / SDAIA guidance.
Operating-model controls, not just paperwork
Recruiter override is configured in the workflow, not described in a document. We can help you run bias testing on a defined cadence and present the results to your steering committee. Candidate notices are A/B-testable and available in all delivery languages. The audit trail is queryable and exportable for regulators.
Frequently asked questions
What is Winston AI?
Winston AI is SmartRecruiters' native AI layer: used for sourcing, screening, scheduling and recruiter productivity. EC Experts configures Winston AI to deliver value while staying inside the regulatory perimeter that applies to each customer.
How does Winston AI handle AI bias?
EC Experts implements a bias-testing methodology against your historical hiring data, configures recruiter-override controls on automated screening decisions, and reports results to the steering committee on a defined cadence, typically per SAP semi-annual release.
Is Winston AI compliant with the EU AI Act?
AI used in employment selection is classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act. EC Experts configures Winston AI with the controls the AI Act requires for high-risk systems, risk management, data governance, transparency, human oversight, accuracy and resilience, and produces the documentation the Act expects.
