Trust and boundaries

What makes a careers assistant trustworthy?

A trustworthy careers assistant uses approved sources, admits when it cannot answer and points to an official source or support route named in the reviewed material. It stays outside ranking and hiring decisions.

Working controls

Trust comes from the operating model, not a fluent answer.

Reviewed sources

The employer approves the information intended to support the experience.

Honest limits

Unsupported questions should receive a clear limit and, where the reviewed material provides one, an official source or support route.

No hiring decisions

Roleline provides careers information and optional role signposting from employer-approved content. It does not screen applications, score suitability, rank candidates or make hiring decisions. Individual eligibility and recruitment decisions remain with the employer.

Your own approved assistant

Each client's assistant runs separately, with its own address, access and data. The version you sign off is recorded and stays as approved until you review a new one.

Review one version

Testing and sign-off apply to one specific version, not a moving draft.

Going live is its own step

Your approval and the switch to live are separate, recorded decisions.

A controlled path

The answer and the release both have a source.

Roleline keeps content ownership, evaluation and deployment visible. Approval of one step does not silently approve the next.

  1. 01

    Employer source

    Named people approve the careers information and official routes.

  2. 02

    One version

    The assistant is fixed before testing begins.

  3. 03

    Evidence

    Agreed questions test support, boundaries and next steps.

  4. 04

    Going live

    The switch to live is a separate, recorded decision after your sign-off.

Reporting boundary

Check the whole data path.

Visitors can ask about careers and discuss interests or experience they choose to share. The assistant does not require a name, email address, CV or application record. Free-text messages may still contain personal information, including sensitive details volunteered by a visitor.

Messages and replies pass through the hosting and model providers to deliver the conversation. Where reporting is enabled, exchanges may also be processed to produce fixed topic and outcome labels. The central reporting store excludes question and answer text, and reports present aggregate results. This does not mean that no personal data is processed.

Before candidate-facing use, we agree the processing arrangements, approved providers, privacy information and retention periods for that service. These distinguish deletion from current conversation storage from provider retention and recoverable backup copies. The signed data-processing documents record the agreed details.

Evaluation

A useful answer should be supported and clear about what comes next.

Evaluation uses agreed questions to examine source support, relevance, boundary behaviour and next-step guidance for the version under review.

Your approval covers what you tested. Before that version goes live, Simple Things also completes privacy, security, accessibility and operational checks for your assistant.
