AI can help clarify a job advert, summarise information or prepare an interview. Automation can handle confirmations and reminders. That does not automatically make selection fairer or better. The employer remains responsible for the criteria and decision.
My starting point is to automate repeatable work you can check. Do not begin with a system that ranks applicants without explaining the evidence behind its judgement.
Three useful applications
- Job adverts: simplify a draft, then check tasks, pay, hours and requirements against the actual role. Ask the tool to flag missing facts rather than invent them.
- Interview preparation: draft questions from job requirements. Assess applicants against the same relevant criteria and ask for concrete examples.
- Scheduling and follow-up: send an acknowledgement, assign an owner and remind them of the promised response date.
A prompt you can check
“Make this job advert clearer for applicants. Preserve every fact. Do not add benefits or requirements. Flag missing information about tasks, hours, location and pay as questions for me.”
Review the output yourself. Before using personal information from CVs in a tool, establish how it processes the data and who can access it.
Where extra care is needed
A missing keyword does not prove someone lacks a skill. A summary can misrepresent information. Historical hiring decisions may contain bias. Do not treat a score as evidence that someone will succeed.
The European Commission explains the AI regulatory framework. Specific obligations depend on the use case. Have a selection tool assessed before using it; an “AI” label does not establish suitability.
Start with one bounded trial
Try job advert drafting first. Keep the original, check the facts and measure required corrections and time spent. For selection, also examine relevant experience missed and inappropriate exclusions. Agree who corrects errors and when to stop.
First establish a clear job advert and job-related CV assessment. Technology can support that approach but cannot define it for you.
