Screening that holds up when someone asks why
Yardstick reads every application against the role you described, ranks it, and writes down why. For teams hiring at volume in the EU, on the ATS you already run.
A person decides
Yardstick screens and recommends. It does not select, reject or decide, and the interface never lets it.
Bias tested per role
Testing is documented for the opening it applies to, not claimed once for the product.
Auditable, and in the EU
Full export, EU data residency and candidate disclosure, built into the flow rather than bolted on.

“We sharded on tenant, not on time, because the read pattern was per-tenant and the writes were not.”

FAQs
Yes. Screening for employment sits under Annex III. That means logging, human oversight and disclosure to the candidate. We give you the record. The decision, and the accountability for it, stays with you.
