About this course

AI for HR and Recruiting is a practical, beginner-friendly course for HR generalists, recruiters, talent acquisition partners and people managers who want to use ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Gemini in their daily work without creating legal or ethical risk. You will learn to write inclusive job descriptions and adverts in minutes, design structured screening rubrics that AI can apply consistently, generate competency-based interview questions and scorecards, and draft onboarding plans, policies and employee communications. A full lesson covers bias, fairness and compliance, including Title VII and disparate impact, GDPR Article 22 and the UK's updated automated-decision rules, New York City's Local Law 144 and the EU AI Act's treatment of recruitment as high-risk, and you will finish by writing an AI use policy for your own HR team. No technical background is needed; if you can write an email and use a spreadsheet, you are ready.
