Course description

Follow Maya, a recruiter facing 1,400 applications and a brand-new AI screening tool, as she learns to use AI in hiring with confidence. Through real-world stories you'll discover how AI sourcing, screening, chatbots and generative tools work, how to spot and measure bias, what the law now requires, and how to prompt, verify and lead AI adoption. Self-paced, practical and built for recruiters, HR teams and hiring managers.

Is AI your best recruiter or your biggest risk?
