Document security for recruitment

Scan CVs before they influence AI-assisted screening.

CVs, portfolios and candidate files can contain text written to influence an AI system. .mdSiren is designed to add a document review before AI-assisted summarisation or screening.

The recruitment problem

Candidate content can become input and instruction.

A CV is supposed to describe a candidate, but an AI tool may also respond to instruction-like text inside the file. Hidden or visible prompts can therefore distort summaries, rankings or the information presented to a reviewer.

The right boundary sits before AI-assisted processing, while the original file and the human decision remain separate.

Understand document prompt injection

Candidate-file intake

Protect the integrity of the review workflow.

Use a consistent scan across the files an AI may summarise, organise or compare.

01

Visible prompt-like text

Instructions addressed to an AI can sit inside ordinary sections, footnotes or appended content.

02

Content a reviewer may not notice

Supported hidden or machine-readable layers may be extracted even when they are difficult to see on the page.

03

Downstream influence

A manipulated summary or comparison can shape what a human reviewer sees and investigates next.

A safer screening workflow

Review the file before the AI reviews the candidate.

Keep document security separate from candidate assessment and apply it consistently.

  1. 1Receive the CV or candidate file through the normal channel.
  2. 2Keep it outside AI-assisted screening while unreviewed.
  3. 3Run the supported .mdSiren checks.
  4. 4Review findings and coverage without judging the candidate.
  5. 5Resolve document concerns through an agreed human process.
  6. 6Keep screening and employment decisions human-led.

.mdSiren does not assess candidates, rank suitability or make employment decisions. It is designed to support review of the document before AI-assisted use.

Before screening

Separate document integrity from candidate merit.

The scan should answer questions about the file and its supported content—not about whether a person should progress.

  • Apply the same intake process to equivalent candidate files.
  • Scan the exact file that will enter the screening workflow.
  • Review supported findings independently of candidate assessment.
  • Check coverage and retain appropriate human oversight.
  • Follow applicable recruitment, privacy and data-retention rules.

.mdSiren is coming soon. This page describes a document-security checkpoint, not a recruitment recommendation or compliance guarantee.

Before the project

Put a document check before AI-assisted screening.

Review supported document signals first, then keep candidate assessment and employment decisions human-led.
