Sapia.ai, the AI-native hiring platform trusted by global enterprises, has become the first AI interview company to achieve ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification—the world’s first international standard for AI management systems. The certification, validated by Sensiba LLP, formalizes Sapia.ai’s commitment to responsible, ethical, and transparent AI practices in recruitment.
“Responsible AI isn’t new for us — it’s our foundation,” said Barb Hyman, CEO & Founder of Sapia.ai. “Our FAIR™ framework, introduced in 2021, defines what fair, inclusive, and valid AI looks like in hiring. Achieving ISO 42001 formalizes what we’ve practiced for years: AI that’s explainable, auditable, and safe for people decisions.”
Science-Backed, Principled AI
Since 2018, Sapia.ai has leveraged structured behavioral data from over eight million interviews and three billion words of human responses to train its AI models. Unlike competitors relying on scraped online data, Sapia.ai ensures its models measure skills and competencies accurately, prioritizing fairness, transparency, and compliance from the ground up.
ISO 42001 certification provides HR and talent acquisition leaders with a clear signal that Sapia.ai’s AI systems meet rigorous international standards for governance, safety, and ethical compliance—key as regulations like the EU AI Act take effect.
Implications for Enterprises
With ISO 42001 in hand, enterprises can confidently deploy AI-assisted hiring solutions that are both powerful and principled, enabling faster, fairer, and more defensible talent decisions at scale. Sapia.ai’s approach underscores that responsible AI can coexist with high-impact, enterprise-grade automation.
