LevelUP HCS Achieves ISO 42001 Certification for Responsible AI
LevelUP Human Capital Solutions announced its achievement of ISO/IEC 42001 certification, demonstrating a commitment to AI management systems in talent acquisition. The certification emphasizes human oversight and accountability.

NEW YORK – LevelUP Human Capital Solutions (LevelUP HCS) has achieved ISO/IEC 42001 certification, establishing an internationally recognized framework for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). The company is among the early adopters of this standard within the recruitment industry.
The certification validates LevelUP HCS's dedication to responsible AI deployment in talent acquisition, highlighting robust governance, accountability, and the necessity of human oversight in hiring processes. The audit was conducted by A Good Certification Group (AGCG), an accredited certification body.
As AI becomes more integrated into recruitment, organizations face challenges related to data handling, bias, and decision-making responsibility. The ISO 42001 standard provides a structured approach to managing these risks and ensuring that AI is used ethically and effectively.
"AI is transforming how companies find talent, but it's crucial that this technology is governed responsibly with human judgment remaining central," said John Fitzgerald, President and Chief Innovation Officer at LevelUP HCS. "This certification validates our commitment to providing these assurances to our clients."
LevelUP HCS utilizes its "LevelUP Hiring Engine™," which blends AI capabilities with human expertise. The company also previously obtained ISO 27001 certification for information security management earlier in 2026, further underscoring its focus on governance and security.
