THE COMPANY

Helping enterprises hire the talent they need

Beamery helps the world’s largest and most innovative companies create better talent experiences and unlock the skills and potential of their global workforce. Their AI talent platform helps organizations streamline their hiring processes, ensuring they attract, select, and retain the best talent.

Beamery is a leader in ethical AI, dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of AI trust and compliance. They were the first HR Tech platform to undergo a third-party audit in 2022 to demonstrate the fairness and integrity of their AI algorithms, setting a precedent in the industry.

THE CHALLENGE

Alleviating customer concerns about AI

With new AI regulations, Beamery faces growing scrutiny from customers regarding the trustworthiness of its AI solutions. In particular, enterprise customers in regulated industries are increasingly looking for independent audits to provide assurance. Customer’s primary concerns are around data security and AI bias, which often slow down sales cycles.

Prior to adopting Warden, Beamery relied on traditional human-led auditing, which was resource-intensive and time-consuming. The audit process required significant effort from the tech team to provide access to models and source data for testing, which was not always readily available.

THE SOLUTION

Continuous AI auditing to demonstrate trust

Beamery evaluated numerous monitoring and audit providers before selecting Warden. Warden’s approach stood out due to the team's strong technical background, the robust methodology, and the customer-facing AI Assurance Dashboard.

Key distinguishing features:
  • Independent Dataset: reduces the burden on Beamery’s tech team by using an external dataset for testing.
  • API integration: Warden’s ‘black-box’ testing method allows for a simple API integration with Beamery’s systems.
  • AI Assurance Dashboard: enables Beamery to share live results with customers.

With Warden, Beamery was able to implement a more robust bias auditing solution with significantly less effort. Their AI Assurance Dashboard, powered by Warden, is now available for all customers to review, providing transparency and building trust. Additionally, Warden’s corporate-friendly AI Bias Audit Reports are shared with customers during procurement, addressing their compliance concerns upfront.

THE IMPACT

Saving developer time and accelerating deals

Since implementing Warden, Beamery has strengthened its position as a leader in responsible AI. They can demonstrate compliance with NYC Local Law 144 and are staying ahead of emerging AI regulations. They expect the adoption of Warden’s solution to lead to a reduction in sales and procurement delays related to AI bias concerns, allowing Beamery to close deals more efficiently.

Key outcomes:
  • Enhanced compliance: Maintained compliance with key regulations.
  • Efficient sales cycle: Alleviated delays caused by AI trust concerns.
  • Increased customer trust: Provided transparency and assurance through the AI Assurance Dashboard and audit reports.
Nicolette Nowak, General Counsel: “Partnering with Warden has enabled us to go beyond talking the talk about AI ethics, and actually walk the walk. Warden’s live bias audit dashboard helps us deliver on our commitment to transparency and build trust with our customers.”

Beamery’s commitment to responsible AI, bolstered by Warden’s embedded auditing solution, ensures they remain at the forefront of safe AI technology development in the HR industry, providing their customers with the confidence and compliance they need.
