Rangam Responsible AI Statement

Rangam Consultants Inc. uses artificial intelligence (AI) to support workforce solutions, improve operational efficiency, enhance decision support, and deliver superior recruitment outcomes for our clients and candidates. We are committed to using AI responsibly, ethically, transparently, and in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations across all jurisdictions where we operate.

Our approach to AI governance is informed by and designed to comply with recognized global frameworks and regulatory requirements, including:

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 - AI Management Systems standard
NIST AI Risk Management Framework - Comprehensive AI risk management
EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) - European Union AI regulation
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - EU data protection law
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) - California privacy rights
EEOC AI and Algorithmic Fairness Guidance - US employment discrimination prevention
SOC 2 Type II - Security and operational controls

Human Oversight

Rangam’s AI systems are designed to assist human decision-making.

Where AI is used in hiring or workforce-related contexts, it is implemented with appropriate human oversight and does not operate as the sole basis for employment decisions.

Fairness and Risk Management

We take reasonable measures to identify and mitigate risks related to bias, fairness, and unintended outcomes. AI systems are regularly tested and evaluated to ensure fair treatment of all candidates regardless of protected characteristics including race, gender, age, disability, or geographic location.

Rangam conducts systematic bias testing on AI systems used in recruitment. Testing is performed quarterly for high-risk systems and before any major system updates. We monitor discriminatory patterns and maintain fairness standards aligned with EEOC requirements. Systems that fail to meet fairness thresholds are suspended until issues are resolved.

AI systems are continuously evaluated and monitored as part of our broader risk management and governance processes. Identified risks are documented and assigned mitigation strategies with clear accountability.

Transparency

We aim to provide clear, appropriate information about how AI is used within our products and services. Candidates are informed when AI systems are involved in recruitment processes and are provided with information about:

How AI is used in the recruitment process
What data is processed by AI systems
How decisions are made and reviewed
How to request human review or exercise their rights

AI-generated outputs are intended to support decision-making and are subject to review and validation. We maintain comprehensive documentation for all AI systems including system design, data sources, and performance testing results.

Safety and non-maleficence

AI systems does not intentionally or unintentionally cause harm to individuals or groups. They are beneficial, trustworthy, and aligned with human values.

Data Protection and Security

AI systems at Rangam are developed and operated in alignment with applicable data protection and information security requirements. Personal data is processed for defined purposes, protected through appropriate safeguards, and handled in accordance with relevant privacy laws.

We conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for all AI systems that process personal data and involve high-risk activities.

Regulatory Alignment

Rangam monitors and adapts to evolving AI-related regulations and guidance across jurisdictions.

AI use cases are reviewed in line with applicable legal, contractual, and compliance obligations.

Continuous Review

Our AI governance practices are periodically reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, regulation, and business requirements.

Use of Generative AI

When generative AI technologies are used, they are applied in a controlled manner and subject to internal review processes. Output is not intended to replace professional judgment.

Commitment to Responsible Use
