Algorithmic hiring · Interactive team workshop

Before AI influences who gets hired, make sure your team knows how to challenge it.

A focused two-hour session for the people responsible for choosing, buying, or using AI in recruitment.

Your team will map where automated decisions enter the hiring process, examine the risks behind confident-looking recommendations, and build a shared basis for deciding what to use—and what not to.

A useful moment to book

This workshop is for you if the technology is moving faster than the conversation around it.

  • You are considering an AI-powered recruitment tool and need to assess it beyond the sales pitch.
  • AI features already appear in your hiring stack, but ownership and oversight are unclear.
  • Leadership, HR, and People teams need a shared language for discussing risk and responsibility.
  • You want the benefits of automation without handing important decisions to a black box.

What we will work through

We follow the hiring process from job advertising and sourcing through CV screening, assessments, interviews, and final selection. The discussion stays grounded in realistic decisions your team may actually face.

01

How algorithmic hiring actually works

What sits behind the interface of common recruitment and AI tools, what these systems can realistically do, and where their limitations begin.

02

Bias and discrimination

How historical data, proxies, model design, and seemingly neutral criteria can reproduce or amplify existing inequalities.

03

The EU AI Act and employer responsibility

What the European regulatory landscape means for employers, and why buying a third-party tool does not automatically outsource responsibility.

04

Human oversight

Where human judgement matters, when automation can genuinely improve a process, and when it creates risks that are difficult to see.

05

Vendor evaluation

What to ask before introducing an AI-powered recruitment tool, and which answers should make you sceptical.

06

Your hiring decisions

Apply the ideas to realistic scenarios, challenge algorithmic recommendations, and decide where your team would draw the line.

Participation, not presentation

This is not a two-hour lecture.

Your team will question hiring decisions, examine scenarios, challenge algorithmic recommendations, and discuss where automation should end and human judgement should begin.

The aim is not to label AI in recruitment as good or bad. It is to make sure that when someone proposes an AI-powered hiring solution, your team knows enough to ask the right questions before saying yes.

The outcome

Move from “this sounds promising” to a decision you can stand behind.

After two hours, your team will be better able to identify where algorithmic decision making enters recruitment, recognise important risks and limitations, evaluate vendor claims, and decide whether, where, and how these systems belong in your organisation.

Designed for founders, managing directors, HR leaders, People & Culture teams, and other decision makers in small and medium-sized organisations.
