While AI can help streamline screening and shortlisting, it can also reinforce bias if recruiters aren’t properly trained or if the tools they use don’t monitor and guide their input effectively.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• The importance of training recruiters to recognise and mitigate bias when using AI-powered screening tools.
• How to implement AI systems that track recruiter inputs, encourage best practices, and prevent biased instructions.
• Why you must restrict recruiters from downloading CVs and applications from your ATS—minimising the risk of them using personal AI tools with no oversight and potential bias.

• Understand where and how recruiter behaviour, data input, or flawed tool design can lead to biased outcomes during AI-powered shortlisting.
• Recognise the key components of effective training that help recruiters use AI responsibly, including spotting bias triggers and applying structured, objective screening methods.
• Understand the risks of CV data being exported and processed through unregulated external AI tools, and explore policies that help maintain data security and fairness.
