AI at LAYIQ

LAYIQ uses AI, and we would rather tell you exactly where and how than leave you to guess. This page is our position on it. It is not a legal document and it does not replace our Terms or Privacy Policy, which are the binding ones. This is how we actually work.

Where AI is used, and where it is not

AI reads job postings and compares them with the evidence in your resume. That is the Fit Analysis, and it is the main place a model touches your work. AI also helps draft things you ask us to draft, like a tailored resume or a cover letter, where you review the result before it goes anywhere.

A model does not decide what you are shown or what you are charged, and it never contacts an employer on your behalf. Nothing is sent anywhere because a model suggested it.

What we send, and what we remove

For a Fit Analysis, what the model receives is not your resume. Before the assessment is sent, your resume is reduced to a set of professional statements — what you have done, the skills the document evidences, the level of study it records — and the identifying detail is removed rather than passed along.

Removed from every Fit Analysis before it is sent:

• Your name, and any contact detail: email address, phone number, links, profiles.
• Where you live, and where any role was based.
• The employers you worked for and the institutions you studied at, by name.
• Exact dates — including the year you graduated, which is one of the most common ways an assessment picks up an age it was never entitled to.

The Fit Analysis model is also instructed to disregard identity, location, work arrangement, and compensation entirely — not to weigh them, and not to let them affect the result even if it believes it can infer one from what it was given, or if a trace of one survives in the wording of something you wrote. That instruction is a second line of defence, not the first. The reason those details are unlikely to reach it is that they were taken out before the request was made.

What this is for: an assessment should reflect what your resume documents about your work, and nothing else. Removing the rest is how we keep it that way — and it means the result cannot be swayed by something it has no business weighing.

Drafting is different. Drafting a tailored resume or cover letter uses your resume and profile as saved, including your name, employers and dates, because the draft has to contain them. Nothing is removed first, so any contact details on your resume go to the model as well.

How we test it, and where the limits are

The model works only from what we hand it: the requirements a posting states, and the professional evidence drawn from your resume. It does not search, it does not look you up, and it has nothing else to go on. We use current frontier models, and change them when a better one earns the place.

Before a change reaches you, it is run against a purpose-built set of test resumes and postings — invented ones, not anyone’s real documents — where we already know how the roles relate to each other. We check that the same input scores consistently when repeated, that results land in a sensible order, and that a change we believed was an improvement actually is one.

What that testing buys is confidence, not certainty, and we will not pretend otherwise. These models are not deterministic: the same role assessed twice can differ. A posting can be written so vaguely there is little to assess, and a resume can describe real work in terms an assessment does not recognise. We cannot guarantee that any individual result is correct, and it is best treated as one input to your own judgement rather than a finding.

What we will not do

• Let a model weigh who you are. Identity, age, location, and personal circumstances are removed before an assessment runs and excluded from what it may consider.
• Sell your resume, or hand it to anyone for their own purposes.
• Let a model act for you. Nothing is applied to, sent, or published without you doing it.
• Present a machine result as a verdict. We say what we found, we say when we could not tell, and we do not tell you what to do about it.

Reading the results

The Fit Analysis reports a level rather than a verdict, and those levels mean something specific. What each one means, what it does not mean, and how to read the scale is on the Fit Analysis levels page.
