BlindStairs
Merified
API

Ethical hiring AI, delivered via API.

Integrate explainable and auditable hiring intelligence without building governance and validation logic from scratch.

  • Modular APIs for anonymization, evaluation, and analytics
  • Repeatable, reproducible outputs
  • Designed for governance in regulated environments

Architecture

Client system -> Merified API powered by BlindStairs -> Structured outputs + audit log
What you can build

Build ethical hiring features into your product.

Merified APIs, powered by BlindStairs technology, let you embed ethical hiring capabilities without rebuilding governance, validation, or fairness logic from scratch.

Blind screening and anonymization

Produce anonymized, structured candidate profiles for fair early screening.

Profile data -> Structured, anonymized profile

Criteria-based evaluation

Produce reproducible scores against defined job criteria.

Profile + criteria -> Reproducible score

Explainable analytics

Produce traceable outcomes and explanations.

Evaluation results -> Explanations + audit record
API modules

Modular API architecture.

Use only what you need. Each module can be integrated independently or combined in a full evaluation pipeline.

Anonymization API

Input

Unstructured or semi-structured profile data

Output

Structured, anonymized representation

  • Removes direct identifiers and reduces indirect demographic leakage
  • Designed for early-stage screening

Evaluation API

Input

Anonymized profile + formalized criteria

Output

Reproducible score and condition-level results

  • Repeatable evaluation (same input -> same result)
  • Built for criteria-based scoring

Analytics and Audit API

Input

Validated evaluation results

Output

Explanations, audit records, governance metadata

  • Supports internal review and regulatory processes
  • Machine-readable audit outputs

Validation and determinism

Repeatable and validated by design.

The BlindStairs technology behind Merified APIs is designed to produce stable and reviewable outputs, essential for regulated and high-impact decision contexts.

  • Repeatable processing: no stochastic scoring at inference time
  • Stability checks: equivalent inputs produce consistent outputs
  • Validation gates: automatic checks before results are returned
  • Same profile under the same criteria always produces the same result

Validation mechanisms are internal to the system and documented for review.

Explainability

Explainable outputs, not black boxes.

Explanations are designed to be consumable by both machines and humans.

  • Criteria-level evaluation results
  • Clear linkage between inputs, conditions, and outcomes
  • Machine-readable audit records

Deployment and integration

Designed for enterprise deployment.

  • API-first (REST / JSON)
  • Flexible deployment: cloud, private cloud, or on-premise (where required)
  • Stateless requests where applicable, to support scalable integration
  • Designed to integrate with HR systems (ATS), HR platforms, and marketplaces

BlindStairs technology does not require access to sensitive personal identifiers for Merified evaluation outputs.
