About this list
TalentInitiator relies on the providers below to run the hosted product. Each one processes information only to provide its part of the service, under a written agreement with TalentInitiator Inc. The demo that runs on a single computer uses none of them.
Changes to this list
We update this page before a new provider starts processing customer information, and tell customers about the change in advance.

Data residency statement
The statement below is the one shown to candidates on consent screens, word for word.
Your candidate records, documents and interview recordings are stored in Canada (AWS Canada (Central), Montréal). If you record your interview answers, the audio is transcribed in Canada (Amazon Transcribe, Canada (Central)). We use AI services operated by Anthropic in the United States, under contract. Reading your résumé sends the document you submitted, contact details included. The pre-screening chat sends the messages you write, and outreach drafts use your first name. Your profile, written answers and interview transcripts are evaluated with names and contact details removed. Under our commercial terms, none of this information is used to train AI models. Email and SMS are delivered by providers listed on our sub-processor page, some of which operate outside Canada. Information processed outside Canada may be accessible to the authorities of that country under its laws.
