AI Usage

AI technologies used in our recruitment process undergo detailed risk assessments, including security and privacy requirements, that align with KPMG's Trusted AI framework.

We believe technology should empower human judgment, not replace it. It's one of the many ways we're delivering on our vision of being a technology-first, people-driven firm.
