Allowly Hiring Evidence is an evidence-recording feature in the Allowly platform for hiring scenarios, used to retain verifiable process records during hiring decisions. It performs deterministic screening evaluation on selected fields submitted, in accordance with an organization's approved policy version, and consolidates the results, policy version, human review, and correction information into a Hiring Decision Pack.
Purpose The tool is designed to help recruiting operations, compliance and legal, and recruiting platform teams retain the connections between job stages, approved policies, review paths, and corrections around a recorded workflow. It allows the context behind each screening result to be preserved, rather than relying solely on screenshots or scattered records.
Key Capabilities
- Define jobs and stages: Create ordered stages used by the team and assign an approved policy version to each stage before screening begins.
- Approve and publish: After the organization reviews a draft, publish an immutable version along with its approval record.
- Submit selected fields: Send an opaque candidate ID and the selected fields for the policy version assigned to that stage.
- Deterministic evaluation: The policy runner does not use a language model. The same complete submission record (including field provenance and parse warning status) produces the same result under the same policy version. Results can be advance, confirm, escalate, or deny, where confirm and escalate are retained as customer-owned review paths.
- Freeze the exact version: Approved and published policies remain distinct from subsequent edits and remain associated with the decisions they recorded.
- Preserve human paths: confirm and escalate results can carry customer-owned resolution records without rewriting the previous result.
- Preserve changes: Corrections or same-stage duplicates create a linked replacement lineage, rather than silently replacing prior evidence.
- Go beyond screenshots: Receipts, keys, configuration checks, and hashes enable reviewers to verify the included evidence outside the Hiring UI.
- Portable output: The Hiring Decision Pack can combine job and stage definitions, policy versions, approval records, signed receipts, reviews, corrections, verification keys, controlled mappings, replay materials, and file hashes.
How to Use Hiring Evidence uses your Allowly account and workspace, with no second customer login or separate billing account required. Connect via the Hiring API and supported clients, while your systems continue to retain identity, progress, routing, and operations.When submitting, an opaque candidate ID and selected fields must be sent; field types and field key filter conditions are documented separately. Customers must exclude names, resume text, interview records, and other identity data from submitted values. Hiring Evidence requires the relevant receipt envelope before recording a decision; signatures may be completed later, so they should be verified rather than treating their presence as proof.
Applicable scenarios
- Recruiting operations: keep job stages, approved policies, review paths, and corrections connected around one recorded workflow.
- Compliance and legal: inspect the included policies, decision reasons, review lineage, receipt signatures, and stated evidence limitations.
- Recruiting platform teams: integrate through the Hiring API and supported clients, while your system retains identity, progress, routing, and operations.
Limitations
- The current Hiring feature is in maintenance status: the wire-5 code has been merged, but production reopening is still pending; core Allowly remains available. This page describes the product and reopening setup.
- Data boundary: candidate files remain in your system, and Hiring Evidence receives an opaque candidate ID and selected fields. Customers must exclude names, resume text, interview records, and other identity data from submitted values.
- Proof limitations: a successful signature check indicates that a matching Allowly workspace key signed the receipt content and that the signed content has not changed. Configuration and chain checks answer other questions about the provided records. It does not prove source truth, policy fairness or legality, human identity, complete capture, or customer enforcement. Allowly operates and signs its own screening results; it is not an independent third-party witness to independent ATS decisions.
- Plan inclusion: Hiring Evidence is included in Allowly core plans, using the same active item pool and decision quota, with no separate Hiring subscription or second metering. In the Free plan, one shared active slot can hold only one Hiring job, agent, or workflow at a time. A paid core plan is not required.
