Overview of the webinar

Artificial Intelligence is becoming part of recruitment, screening, interviewing, shortlisting and hiring decisions. Used well, it can help employers move faster and handle large volumes of applicants. Used badly, it can create bias, poor judgement, weak documentation, candidate mistrust and legal exposure. Many managers, HR professionals and business leaders are under pressure to adopt AI tools without always understanding how those tools work, what risks they create, or where human oversight is still essential. This session helps attendees understand the practical risks of AI in hiring and how to use it more responsibly.

This webinar gives HR professionals, managers and business leaders a practical overview of the risks involved in using Artificial Intelligence in hiring. It focuses on how AI can influence recruitment decisions, where bias and legal exposure can appear, and what organisations should do to protect fairness, transparency and human judgement.
