Responsible Hiring Guidelines

1. Hiring on evidence, not assumption

Geteroom is a capability-first platform. Recruiters are expected to base shortlist, interview and offer decisions on a candidate's demonstrated work, capability signals and simulation results — not on age, gender, ethnicity, disability, religion, marital status, pregnancy, HIV status, or any other protected characteristic under the Kenyan Employment Act (2007) and the Constitution of Kenya.

2. Respectful candidate communication

• Reply to candidates within a reasonable timeframe (typically 10 working days).
• Give a clear outcome when a candidate is shortlisted, declined or paused.
• Do not contact candidates outside the platform for unrelated purposes.

3. Fair use of capability signals

Capability signals and AI-generated insights support — they do not replace — human judgement. Final hiring decisions remain the employer's responsibility. Do not use Geteroom signals as the sole basis for adverse decisions.

4. Confidentiality of candidate work

Candidate submissions, decision logs and proof artifacts are shared with your workspace for evaluation only. Do not redistribute, republish or reuse a candidate's work without their explicit consent.

5. Offers & contracts

Any offer extended through Geteroom must comply with the Kenyan Employment Act, including minimum wage, written terms of service, and statutory deductions (NSSF, SHIF, NITA, PAYE where applicable). Geteroom does not act as an employer of record.

6. Reporting concerns

Candidates or team members who observe discriminatory, exploitative or unsafe recruiter behaviour can report it to trust@geteroom.com. Reports are reviewed promptly and may result in pilot access being paused or restricted.
