Where AI helps
AI can help write job descriptions, interview questions, and onboarding materials. These uses are generally low risk when reviewed.
Where to be careful
Using AI to screen, rank, or reject candidates can introduce bias and legal risk. Some locations have rules about automated hiring tools.
Review language
Ask AI to check job posts for wording that might discourage qualified applicants, and review the results yourself.
Keep decisions human
- Use consistent criteria
- Review every candidate fairly
- Document reasons for decisions
Avoid sensitive data
Don't ask AI to evaluate candidates based on personal characteristics.
Follow laws
Check employment laws that apply to you, and get professional advice if needed.
Train interviewers
AI can help create interviewer training materials focused on fairness.
Fair hiring builds better teams
Thoughtful processes attract strong, diverse candidates.
Audit your process
Periodically review your hiring outcomes. Are qualified candidates from different backgrounds moving through the process fairly? Are certain requirements screening out good people unnecessarily? AI can help you design a simple review checklist, but the review itself should be done thoughtfully by people who understand your business and its legal obligations.
Give candidates a good experience
Fast, respectful communication matters to every applicant. AI can help you write clear updates and kind rejection messages, which protect your reputation as an employer.
