Use of AI in our Hiring Process
Fora Travel, Inc. (“Fora”) uses an automated employment decision tool (AEDT) offered by Apriora Inc. dba Alex to assist with screening candidates for the Wolf Program, based in our New York City office. As part of the hiring process, the Alex AI platform (“Alex”) may be used to:
•
apply predefined, objective criteria to a candidate’s application (such as professional qualifications and relevant professional experience); and/or
•
conduct an AI-assisted initial interview through the Alex platform to assist with evaluating specific role-related competencies and qualifications.
As part of our hiring process, Alex may be used at two stages of the initial screening process.
As part of the first stage, applications may be evaluated against predefined, role-specific criteria such as required education, credentials or minimum work experience. Applications that do not meet these objective requirements are marked as unqualified and recommended not to proceed to the next stage of the process.
Candidates who meet the initial screening criteria will be invited to participate in a live, conversational interview via video hosted by Alex. Alex will ask a predefined list of interview questions created by Fora and may ask follow-up questions based on your responses. It will then generate a transcript of the video call, structured summaries and a score using the scorecard developed by the hiring manager for consideration by Fora’s hiring team.
While Alex assists with the initial screening process, review of the interview responses, scoring and subsequent interviews are done by our hiring team. All final hiring decisions are made by Fora.
The automated screening and AI-assisted interview may assess specific role-related competencies such as:
educational background and any required credentials;
•
relevant work experience;
•
role-specific skills; and
•
responses to behavioral, situational or problem solving questions.
