A human decides
The system surfaces and ranks. It does not reject candidates and it does not make hiring decisions — a recruiter reviews every shortlist.
Cyber AI Recruiter
Cyber AI Recruiter
AI-assisted sourcing, screening and matching for cybersecurity roles — working from verified skills, with a human in the loop.
The short answer
What is the Cyber AI Recruiter?
The Cyber AI Recruiter is HiringIQ's AI-assisted recruiting capability. It sources candidates for cybersecurity roles, screens them against the skills the role actually requires, and surfaces matches for a human to review. It works from the same verified skills model as the rest of HiringIQ — and it assists a recruiter rather than replacing one.
It is not a chatbot and it is not an applicant tracking system. The intelligence is in how it reasons about security capability — which skills a role genuinely needs, and which candidates hold evidence of them.
Part of HiringIQ
The Cyber AI Recruiter is a capability inside HiringIQ, not a separate product. It draws on the same skills ontology as the hiring intelligence platform, screens using the same verified evidence that skills certification produces, and sources from the same cyber talent marketplace.
The flow
How it works
Four stages, and a person at the end of every one of them.
Step 01
AI-assisted sourcing
Candidates are surfaced from the verified marketplace and the open market.
Step 02
Skills screening
Screening runs against the capabilities the role actually requires.
Step 03
Capability matching
Candidates are ranked on evidence, not on CV vocabulary.
Step 04
Human review
A recruiter reviews the shortlist and the reasoning behind it.
Nothing is hired or rejected without a person. The recruiter sees why a candidate was surfaced, which is what makes the shortlist defensible rather than merely fast.
The hard question
Fairness and human oversight
AI in recruiting deserves scepticism, and a vendor with a short answer to the fairness question should raise your eyebrows. Here is the mechanism and where its limits are.
-
-
It screens on skills
Matching runs against demonstrated capability, not against the pedigree signals that carry the most bias in conventional screening.
-
The reasoning is visible
You can see why a candidate was surfaced. A ranking you cannot interrogate is not one you should act on.
We would rather show you the mechanism than make a claim about accuracy we cannot evidence. Ask us in a demo.
What you get
The hiring benefit
Speed, without giving up the signal you were slow for in the first place.
-
Faster to shortlist
Sourcing and screening that would take a recruiter days happens in the background.
-
Better signal
Candidates are surfaced on verified capability rather than on keyword density.
-
Consistent reasoning
The same standard applied to every candidate, and visible when you ask why.
Most teams run this alongside the talent marketplace — sourcing from a pool that is already verified makes the screening stage considerably shorter.
