REC Partner event: CDEI & Centigy - Assuring AI systems in the HR and recruitment sector

In this webinar, the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI) will present their research on ensuring responsible use of AI systems in HR and recruitment, including findings from their Industry Temperature Check Report, as well as the CDEI/REC Data-driven tools in recruitment guidance.

This will be followed by a presentation from Centigy, who will highlight assurance resources in this space, to support recruiters in procuring and deploying responsible tech.

In the HR and recruitment sector, AI systems are being applied across a range of functions within the recruitment lifecycle, including sourcing, screening, interview and selection. Adopting AI in this sector offers the automation and simplification of existing processes, promising greater efficiency, scalability and consistency. However, these technologies also pose novel risks. Specifically, these systems pose unique rights-based harms, such as those that arise from a lack of fairness.

AI assurance techniques can play a vital role in managing these risks and building trust. They can help organisations ensure compliance with norms and principles of responsible innovation, beyond regulatory compliance alone.
