AI is revolutionizing hiring, but hidden biases can undermine fairness. Did you know that job-matching algorithms may unintentionally disadvantage women? For example, slower response times from women are often misinterpreted as a lack of interest, reducing their job recommendations.

Learn how to critically assess AI tools, address ethical concerns, and integrate fairness into recruitment processes.
✅ Understand bias in AI and HR
✅ Evaluate AI’s potential and limitations
✅ Balance AI insights with human judgment
✅ Develop strategies for fair and inclusive hiring
🔹 Case Studies – AI-driven recruitment challenges
🔹 Self-Reflection – Identifying personal biases
