Our ground rules

Five rules. They are the brand.

Each rule is backed by something the product actually does. Read how we keep them, and check for yourself.

1. 1

   CV Pod never scores, ranks or judges people with AI. It never analyses faces, voices, accents or emotion.

   How it's enforced: Applicant lists are ordered only by when people applied. Software does three small jobs: it matches a selfie to an ID once, writes a transcript, and quotes your own words back. There is no score field anywhere in our database.

2. 2

   The candidate owns their pod, decides who sees it and can revoke it.

   How it's enforced: Link controls and a receipt trail. Employers can't browse Pods. They see only people who applied or sent them a link. Pausing or revoking takes effect within 15 seconds, even on a page someone has open.

3. 3

   Every rejection is made by a human and comes with a reason.

   How it's enforced: One person, one click, one of seven fixed reasons. No bulk decline, no auto-reject. You see who decided.

4. 4

   Employers' reply records are public.

   How it's enforced: Every company page shows its numbers and its breaches. No one can edit or delete an entry, including CV Pod staff.

5. 5

   AI help is fine, as long as it's disclosed.

   How it's enforced: The "AI helped me write this" yes/no sits beside your CV. It's disclosure only and never lowers anything.
