Vanguard currently uses HiredScore, an artificial intelligence (“AI”) system that assists our talent acquisition team with recruitment and hiring of personnel. This notice is being provided before Vanguard uses HiredScore to evaluate your work experience, education, skills, certifications, and other relevant information from your job application(s) against job-related criteria for the applicable role(s). HiredScore does not gather or evaluate any information about you that you have not included in your job application(s) to Vanguard. The assessments provided by HiredScore may help determine whether applicants should be prioritized for review, advanced to interview, matched to another role, or otherwise moved forward in the hiring process. Our personnel may review and consider the assessments produced by HiredScore, but all employment decisions will be made by a person with discretion to disregard those assessments.

The assessments from HiredScore are regularly monitored by our personnel with discretionary authority to disregard the assessments. Nevertheless, Vanguard engages an independent and impartial third party to conduct bias audits of HiredScore. Here are the results of the last bias audit for HiredScore Spotlight (conducted February 2026) and HiredScore Fetch (conducted September 2025).

If you are a California job applicant interested in applying for a job at Vanguard, you may choose to opt-out of the use of HiredScore to evaluate your application. All job applicants have the right to request reasonable accommodation for your application, and if you are a NYC job applicant interested in applying for a job at Vanguard, you may request an alternative selection process for your application. You may also request additional information about how HiredScore is used to evaluate your job application(s). If you wish to opt out (California only), request an alternative selection process (NYC only), request additional information, or request reasonable accommodations, please contact us at careers@vanguard.com. Vanguard will not retaliate against applicants or employees who exercise these rights.
