AI in Recruitment

How Can AI Reshape the Recruitment Process?

Time: 09:30 - 13:00

Cost: £295 + VAT per attendee 

Dates:

There's a huge momentum right now about the benefits of using AI to enhance the recruitment process. But with these opportunities come substantial responsibilities around compliance, ethics, and fraud prevention. Smart organisations are already leveraging AI-powered recruitment solutions and seeing benefits and cost savings across the board, while ensuring they remain compliant with evolving UK legislation. However, other companies are unwittingly leaving themselves and their staff open to sophisticated recruitment fraud, deepfake applications, algorithmic bias claims, and significant regulatory penalties.

This unique half-day training will explore the ways HR can harness AI to streamline your recruitment processes, enhance decision-making and equip you with the practical strategies to effectively implement AI in your recruitment practices safely and legally.

What You'll Learn:

What AI Actually Does in Recruitment (In Plain English)
Speeds up CV screening - Pre-sorts applications so you focus on the most relevant candidates
Reduces unconscious bias - Focuses on skills and experience rather than factors that might unconsciously influence decisions
Spots fraud early - Identifies fake CVs, doctored documents, and deepfake video interviews
Predicts success - Analyses patterns from your best employees to identify similar traits in candidates

The Challenges You Need to Know About
Legal compliance - GDPR, Equality Act 2010, and employment law have specific AI requirements
Bias risk - AI can make bias worse if not implemented carefully
Fraud evolution - Sophisticated fake applications are increasing rapidly
Integration complexity - Making AI work with existing systems and processes
