Nokhba reserves the right to remove postings that violate these requirements without notice and without liability.
3. Candidate Data & Privacy
As an employer receiving candidate data through Nokhba, you are a Data Controller for that data and must:
• Use candidate data only for evaluating their application for the specific role applied to
• Not share candidate data with third parties without consent
• Not retain candidate data beyond the period necessary for the recruitment decision
• Comply with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL) in all processing of candidate personal data
• Provide candidates with a fair process and, upon request, inform them of the outcome of their application
Nokhba provides candidate data to you under a data sharing agreement. By using the employer features, you agree to act as a Data Controller for that data and indemnify Nokhba against claims arising from your misuse of candidate data.
4. Non-Discrimination
You must not use Nokhba's AI screening tools to discriminate against candidates on the basis of any characteristic protected by UAE law, including but not limited to:
• Gender or marital status
• Nationality (except where lawful Emiratisation requirements apply)
• Age (except where a minimum working age is legally required)
• Disability
• Pregnancy or maternity
• Religion
We audit our AI systems for discriminatory patterns. If you identify a potential bias issue, please report it to [email protected].
5. Emiratisation Compliance
Employers in the UAE may have Emiratisation (Nafis) obligations under Cabinet Resolution No. 49 of 2022. Nokhba provides tools to:
• Tag and track Emirati candidates in your pipeline
• Generate Emiratisation reports for MOHRE submission
• Set quotas and track progress
Using these tools does not constitute legal compliance advice. You remain solely responsible for meeting your Emiratisation obligations. Consult your legal counsel for specific requirements.
6. AI Screening Disclaimer
Nokhba's AI candidate screening tools provide recommendations to assist your hiring process. You acknowledge:
• AI scores are probabilistic and may not perfectly reflect candidate suitability
• You must not make final hiring decisions based solely on AI scores without human review
• AI-assisted decisions that result in adverse treatment of protected groups may violate anti-discrimination laws regardless of whether AI was the proximate cause
• You are responsible for all hiring decisions made using our tools
Nokhba is not liable for employment decisions or outcomes arising from your use of AI screening features.
