Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Connovo platform (“Service”), operated by Connovo, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Connovo is an AI-powered hiring platform designed for K-12 school districts. The Service includes AI-assisted screening interviews, applicant profile management, collaborative evaluation tools, and analytics dashboards. The AI interview component uses artificial intelligence to conduct structured screening interviews and generate advisory evaluations.

3. User Accounts

  • You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
  • You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
  • Accounts are for individual use only and may not be shared or transferred.

4. AI Interview Disclosure

Connovo uses artificial intelligence (Google Gemini) to conduct initial screening interviews. By participating in an AI interview, you acknowledge that:

  • Your responses are recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by AI systems.
  • AI-generated scores and evaluations are advisory only and do not constitute final hiring decisions.
  • All hiring decisions are made by human administrators within the school district.
  • You may request a human-conducted alternative interview by contacting the hiring district directly.
  • AI evaluations may be reviewed by authorized district personnel as part of the hiring process.

5. Equal Opportunity Commitment

Connovo is committed to equal employment opportunity. The platform is designed to evaluate candidates based on job-relevant qualifications and competencies. We actively monitor our AI systems for adverse impact using the four-fifths rule and other statistical methods. See our EEO Statement for details.

6. Data Collection & Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information, including interview transcripts and evaluation data.

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.

  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, disassemble, or interfere with the AI interview system.
  • Use automated tools or bots to interact with the Service.

  • Maintain appropriate human oversight of the AI-assisted hiring process.
  • Provide reasonable accommodations to candidates who request alternatives to AI interviews.
  • Comply with EEOC guidelines and monitor hiring outcomes for adverse impact.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its AI models, scoring rubrics, interface design, and documentation, is owned by Connovo, Inc. and protected by intellectual property laws. You retain ownership of content you submit (resumes, interview responses, etc.) but grant us a limited license to process it for providing the Service.

10. Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. Connovo is not liable for hiring decisions made by school districts. Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.
