Compliance & Beyond: How to Build AI Hiring Systems People Trust
AI is reshaping hiring, but the spotlight on these systems is brighter than ever. Compliance alone won’t guarantee fairness or protect organisations from reputational, legal, or operational risk. Responsible deployment requires situational awareness, transparent reasoning, and a trust layer that goes deeper than regulatory checklists.
Join us for a 45-minute session exploring the current paradoxes in AI-driven hiring, from global model assumptions that fail locally, to the subtle ways untested “attributes” can distort outcomes. Together with guest speaker Sarah Mathews, Group Responsible AI Manager at The Adecco Group, we will unpack why assurance must extend beyond compliance, and what practical steps teams can take today to build hiring systems people genuinely trust.
What we’ll cover
- Why compliance is necessary, but not sufficient
- The status quo and present paradoxes in the hiring and AI ecosystem
- Realistic examples for how it can go wrong
- The “trust layer” every hiring AI system needs
- Practical methods for ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness
Who Should Attend:
- HR, Talent Acquisition, or People Operations
