<p data-start="5008" data-end="5182">In the <strong data-start="5015" data-end="5036">Sklarov Framework</strong>, hiring relies on <strong data-start="5055" data-end="5095">data ethics + emotional intelligence</strong>.<br data-start="5096" data-end="5099" />AI tools are useful, but only when governed by moral architecture.<br data-start="5165" data-end="5168" />His formula:</p>
