Vendor renewal

Ask AI hiring evidence questions before renewal pressure hits.

Renewals are a clean moment to turn vague AI feature claims into documented obligations, evidence requests, and change-notification expectations.

Vendor audit request Vendor scorecard Estimate review cost

Ten questions

Start with these before the contract renews.

Which features use AI or automated decision logic? Which workflows screen, rank, score, recommend, summarize, or reject? What audit, validation, or testing summaries are available? What limitations or excluded use cases should the buyer know? How does human review work in practice? Can the AI feature be disabled, configured, or overridden? What candidate or worker notice support is available? What data is used, retained, or shared? How are model or feature changes communicated? Who owns evidence updates after renewal?

Renewal leverage

Turn gaps into asks before signing.

Evidence

Make documents deliverables

Ask vendors to provide audit summaries, limitation notes, oversight instructions, and notice support as part of renewal.

Change

Require update notice

Ask how the vendor will notify customers about material AI feature, model, scoring, or workflow changes.

Fallback

Preserve configuration options

Know whether AI features can be disabled, scoped, or overridden if evidence is missing or requirements change.

After renewal review

Move open questions into a monthly operating file.
