Join a free, certified course on fair and inclusive recruitment practices

As Artificial Intelligence becomes a key player in hiring processes, it holds both promise and risk. While AI can speed up recruitment and reduce manual tasks, it can also reinforce harmful biases, from misinterpreting candidate behaviour to limiting the rights of workers.

Whether you’re a Human Resources professional working to improve inclusive hiring or a Trade Union or NGO representative striving to protect fairness and rights in the workplace, this session is for you.

Join the BIAS Project’s free capacity-building session to explore how AI can be shaped to serve fairness, diversity, and inclusion in recruitment.

Why attend?

✅ Recognise and mitigate bias in algorithmic tools
✅ Apply legal frameworks like the GDPR and AI Act to prevent discrimination
✅ Balance automation with human judgment for ethical hiring decisions
✅ Strengthen your organisation’s voice and internal capacity for ethical AI advocacy
✅ Connect with others through practical, scenario-based exercises and open discussions
✅ Enjoy a collaborative learning environment — with a free delicious meal included!

What’s included?

💠Case studies: Review real hiring situations where AI influenced candidate selection, and discuss what went wrong (or right).
💠Bias awareness: Reflect on how unconscious bias can affect shortlisting, interviews, and final decisions.
💠Hands-on practice: Try out AI-based tools and learn how to use them fairly in your recruitment process.
💠Peer Learning: Exchange experiences with fellow HR professionals

Who should join?

HR professionals from public and private organisations
Trade union representatives
Civil society organisations and NGOs working on labour rights, inclusion, or digital policy
Equality, diversity, and inclusion officers
Anyone interested in fair and transparent recruitment practices in an AI-driven world
