AI is increasingly shaping hiring decisions, but is it always fair? At the BIAS Project, we’re ensuring fairness, diversity, and inclusion are central to recruitment. AI can unintentionally reinforce bias. However, it can also be an instrument for achieving fairer recruitment processes.

Join our free, certified sessions — Shaping Responsible and Inclusive AI in Recruitment: A Capacity-Building Series — to understand how AI impacts hiring, identify where bias can appear, and learn how we can all make recruitment more fair and inclusive.

Why attend?

Recognise bias in recruitment and its impact on diverse candidates 

Assess AI tools without needing technical expertise 

Tackle ethical risks and promote fairness and inclusion 

Balance tech with judgment for better hiring decisions

Exchange insights and experiences in a supportive, collaborative networking space — with a delicious, free 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 for hiring selection and compare the results with your recruitment choices.

Who should join?

  • 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
