Idonara is a UK recruitment platform that runs the whole of hiring — from writing the advert to a new starter's first day. AI does the heavy, repetitive work, such as reading every application, scheduling and paperwork, and a person always makes the final hiring decision.

Does Idonara let AI make hiring decisions?

No. Idonara surfaces the strongest candidates and explains why, but a person always makes the decision. Candidates can request human review in line with UK GDPR Article 22.

Does Idonara score candidates by face, voice or video?

No. Idonara never runs robot interviews and never scores a face, voice or video. It reads what people wrote and weighs candidates on skills and experience.

Where is candidate data stored?

Candidate data stays in the UK. Each customer's data is kept in its own sealed, per-tenant space and is not mixed with anyone else's.

For candidates

A fair read, and a real person on the other side.

If you’re applying for a role through Idonara, here’s what that means for you — in plain English. The short version: your application is actually read, you’re judged on what you can do, and no computer decides your future. A human always does.

What this means for you

No application black holes.

You know the worst part of job hunting: sending an application into silence. Idonara exists partly to fix that. When hundreds of people apply, your application still gets read properly — not skimmed, not skipped because you applied late or didn’t use the exact right words.

You’re read on what you can do

Your skills and experience are weighed in full — including skills that mean the same thing even if you phrased them differently. Not skimmed, not skipped because you applied late or didn’t use the exact right words.

A human makes the decision

AI helps the employer read and organise applications. It never interviews you, never scores your face or voice, and never rejects you on its own. A human always decides.

You can ask for a human review

If a decision is made about your application, you have the right to have a human look at it. Just ask — your prospective employer can explain how they use Idonara.

Your account, your control

Your data belongs to you.

From your first click to your interview, you stay in charge — of your application, your profile, and your information.

Apply now, finish later

You can start an application without creating an account and pick it up again later — in your own time, at your own pace.

One profile, many employers

Reuse a single candidate account across employers — without your details ever crossing between them.

See, correct, download or delete

Your data is yours. View it, fix it, take a copy, or remove it — in a click. You stay in control of your information.

Optional help to sharpen your profile

Idonara can suggest improvements to your profile. You decide whether to accept each one — nothing is changed without your say-so.

Interviews in your calendar

Book your own interview slot and add it straight to your calendar — no back-and-forth.

How we treat the trust you place in us.

When you apply, you share your history — sometimes personal details. We protect that seriously: your data is kept secure, held in the UK, and never mixed in with anyone else’s.

Sensitive information, like anything you share for equality monitoring, gets extra protection and is only ever seen as anonymous totals — never tied back to you.

Honest about AI: Idonara reads standard digital CVs to help employers understand your experience. It does not interview you, and it does not make the hiring decision.

Your rights

What you can always count on.

These aren’t favours — they’re your rights, and we’ve built Idonara around them.

Questions

Applying with Idonara — your questions, answered

Does a computer decide whether I get the job?

No. A human always decides. AI helps the employer read and organise applications — it never interviews you, never scores your face or voice, and never rejects you on its own. No computer decides your future.

Will my application actually be read?

Yes. Even when hundreds of people apply, your application is read in full and weighed on your skills and experience — not skimmed, and not skipped because you applied late or didn’t use the exact right keywords.

Can I ask for a human to review a decision?

Yes. If a decision is made about your application, you have the right to have a human look at it. Just ask — your prospective employer can explain how they use Idonara and arrange a human review.

Do I have to do an AI or video interview?

No. Idonara never interviews you with a bot, and it never scores a face, a voice or a video. Any interview you have is with real people.

Can I start an application and finish it later?

Yes. You can begin an application without creating an account and pick it up again later, in your own time. And you can reuse a single candidate account across employers — without your details ever crossing between them.
