A few weeks ago we shared that we were putting our AI recruiting technology through an independent audit, and the results are in. Warden AI, a third-party audit firm, tested our candidate matching engine across seven categories: + Sex bias + Race/ethnicity bias + Intersectional bias (sex by race/ethnicity) + Sexual orientation bias + Age bias + Disability bias + Religion bias They were looking at two things: • Whether candidates from different groups got matched to roles at similar rates. • Whether a candidate's score changed if their demographic details changed but their experience and qualifications didn't. Across a sample size of 24,840, every category passed both tests. Candidates from every group were matched at close to the same rate. Swapping a candidate's demographic details without changing their qualifications didn't move their score. For our candidates, that means your qualifications, not your demographics, are what determine whether you're a match. And for companies hiring through us, it means every match can be explained by fit for the role.

Share your thoughts in the comments.

Our AI talent matching model scores 94% accuracy across intersectional identities. The industry benchmark is 80%. Bias testing isn't a feature at Aquent. It's the baseline.

Last week we started asking 1 million Aquent talent about their AI accomplishments. What we're hearing is pretty incredible! - A motion designer took a damaged WWII photograph of a plane getting shot down and used AI to animate the scene, complete with smoke and fire, from multiple camera angles. The producers couldn't figure out how it was done! - A content strategist built an MCP-based agent using Claude Code that generates full multi-channel marketing campaigns, monthly newsletters, and audience-segmented emails without a single prompt, cutting 35+ hours of weekly creative work down to an approval step. - An art director built an agent system that tracks ad performance and automatically updates underperforming creative, resulting in 5x output with better click-through and return on ad spend. Our talent accomplish amazing things with AI. -jg

We want to learn more about your AI accomplishments. Our clients' needs are evolving. In addition to typical software tools, they want people who vibe code or create agents to accomplish tasks. We're asking one million of our talent via e-mail to share their AI skills and experiences with us. Tell us your AI skills and we will find you opportunities to use them. - jc

Today’s staffing companies have more sources for finding talent than their own databases. Aquent and Skill recently connected our sixth talent repository in the last 15 months, bringing our candidate database to 300 million worldwide. With more connections planned for 2026, we can make better matches for our clients and bring opportunities to many more people. - jc

A recent HR Dive article highlights Aquent’s 2026 Salary Guide, showing a growing pay divide as AI-driven roles surge. Machine Learning Engineers saw 6% salary growth—more than double that of more traditional roles. As our Founder & CEO John H. Chuang says: “The fastest growing salaries are for roles that combine technical depth with the ability to apply AI at scale.” The message is clear: AI skills are reshaping compensation and the future of work. #AI #FutureOfWork #SalaryTrends #SalaryGuide

Sometimes last minute requests can't be avoided, but that doesn't mean they have to bypass your process all together. RoboHead allows you to build templates specifically for rush jobs so you can set parameters around who can submit them and how they should be handled once approved.
