Screening and shortlisting: keep a human in chargeWhat regulators found in AI screening tools, why inferred characteristics are a problem, and what a meaningful human review looks like.
Interviews, adjustments and candidate communicationInterview question banks with AI, questions to avoid, reasonable adjustments, and telling candidates how AI is used.
Policies, letters and employee questionsDrafting and updating HR documents with AI, checking them against law and agreements, and handling sensitive cases.
