AI Assisted Recruitment and Automated Candidate Screening

Recruitment technology now screens applications, ranks candidates and even drafts outreach, but poorly governed tools can entrench bias and damage the employer brand. This course helps talent acquisition teams use artificial intelligence tools responsibly, keeping human judgement and fairness at the centre. Delegates evaluate real tools against African hiring realities and data protection duties.

Explain how recruitment automation and screening tools work.
Select tools that fit your hiring volume and roles.
Configure screening criteria without introducing unfair bias.
Combine automated shortlisting with human decision making.
Protect candidate data and meet privacy obligations.
Measure whether the tools improve quality and speed of hire.
