ABOVO.JOBS Inc. ("ABOVO") believes Users should understand how automated technologies are used on the ABOVO platform (the "Service"). This Notice explains the automated features of the Service, what they do, what they do not do, and your options.
1. Automated Technologies We Use
1.1 The ABOVO Matching Engine
The Matching Engine is ABOVO's proprietary ranking technology. When a Job Seeker uses the Service, the Matching Engine determines the order in which Listings appear in the Job Seeker's discovery feed. It uses signals such as the Job Seeker's declared preferences (e.g., desired job type and location), prior in-app behavior (e.g., which Listings the Job Seeker swiped right or left, and how the Job Seeker responded to in-app prompts), and Listing attributes.
The Matching Engine is a ranking and discovery tool. It does not advance, reject, score, screen, or otherwise make a hiring-related decision about any Job Seeker. All decisions to advance, message, offer, hire, or decline any Job Seeker are made by Employers through their own manual review and in-app interaction.
1.2 AI-Generated Listing Drafts
When an Employer creates a Listing, ABOVO offers a tool that drafts Listing copy from a short free-text description provided by the Employer and the Employer-specified work location. This tool uses a third-party large-language-model service (currently provided by Google through its Gemini API). The Employer reviews the generated draft and is responsible for the final published Listing, including its accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable law.
When drafting a Listing, ABOVO transmits the Employer's free-text input and location to the third-party AI provider for the limited purpose of generating draft text. ABOVO does not transmit Job Seeker personal information to the AI provider for this purpose.
1.3 Automated Listing Closure ("No-Ghosting")
To discourage unresponsive Employers and to give Job Seekers status visibility, the Service automatically closes a Listing if the Employer does not engage with new Applications for thirty (30) consecutive days. Beginning on the twentieth (20th) day of inactivity, the Service displays a "no-ghosting" status to affected Job Seekers and reminds the Employer.
Closure under this section is a Listing-level event. It is not an automated screening or rejection decision concerning any individual Job Seeker.
2. What We Do Not Do
ABOVO does not use the Matching Engine, the AI drafting tool, or any other Service feature to substantially assist or replace any hiring, screening, advancement, or other employment decision about any individual Job Seeker. Where any law requires a bias audit, candidate notice, or other compliance with respect to an "automated employment decision tool" — including New York City Local Law 144 of 2021 (the "NYC AEDT Law") — ABOVO will comply or will require Employers to comply, as applicable.
3. Information for Employers
You are responsible for assessing whether your own use of the Service, including any tools or processes you use in conjunction with the Service, triggers compliance obligations under the NYC AEDT Law or any similar federal, state, or local law. You should consult your own legal counsel as needed.
4. Information for Job Seekers
Decisions about whether to advance you in a recruiting process — including whether to message you, send you an Offer, hire you, or decline you — are made by the Employer, not by ABOVO's technology. If you have questions about how an Employer evaluated you, you may contact that Employer directly through the in-app messaging feature.
5. Updates to This Notice
As our technologies evolve, we will update this Notice accordingly. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this document indicates the most recent revision.
