Responsible hiring

Last updated 9 November 2026

What employers need to do to use QuikPitch fairly and lawfully.

1.Your role as the employer

QuikPitch is a tool for reviewing video applications. The employer makes the hiring decisions and is responsible for them, including compliance with the law. This page is general guidance, not legal advice.

2.Fair and equal treatment

  • The Equality Act 2010 protects people from discrimination in hiring because of protected characteristics (such as age, disability, race, sex, religion, sexual orientation).
  • Video shows how a person looks and sounds. Judge on the skills and experience the role needs, and use the same questions and criteria for every applicant.
  • Make reasonable adjustments for disabled applicants, and offer another way to apply when someone can’t record a video.

3.Right to work

Checking a person’s right to work in the UK is the employer’s legal duty. QuikPitch doesn’t carry out these checks.

4.Handling applicants’ data

  • You are the controller of the applications you receive: see the data processing agreement.
  • Tell applicants how you’ll use their data, and don’t keep it longer than needed.
  • Applicants can ask to see or delete their data, and may be entitled to a human review of any decision made automatically.
  • You may need to register with the ICO and pay a data protection fee.

5.A person makes the decision

QuikPitch doesn’t score or reject candidates for you. Ratings and shortlists are decided by your team.
