AI training for Recruiters

With talent shortages in many fields, recruiting has become a key business function: candidates must be found, convinced and guided quickly through the process. Generative AI supports recruiters at many points of the candidate journey. AI assistants write job ads that speak to the target group, build search strings for active sourcing, draft personal outreach messages, prepare structured interview guides and summarise interview notes. Automation handles scheduling, acknowledgements and status updates for applicants. At the same time, recruiting is a particularly sensitive area: selection decisions must be non-discriminatory and transparent, and AI systems used to screen candidates face strict requirements. Using AI for communication, structure and efficiency while keeping selection in human hands improves both candidate experience and time to hire.

Practical scenarios from your field

Job ad optimisation

An AI assistant turns the role profile and team information into an inclusive job ad tailored to the target group, checks it for gender-neutral language and unnecessary barriers and creates variants for different channels.

Active sourcing strategies

AI builds Boolean search strings, alternative job titles and relevant skills for professional networks and job boards and suggests target companies and communities for direct approach.

Personal outreach

Based on the public profile and the role, AI drafts individual contact messages and follow-ups that make the specific value of the position clear to the person.

Structured interview guides

AI creates competency-based interview questions, rating anchors and case exercises for a role, so that all candidates are assessed against the same criteria.

Candidate communication

Automations send acknowledgements, scheduling proposals and status updates, while AI drafts respectful rejections and offers that recruiters review before sending.

Recruiting metrics analysis

Applicant tracking system exports are analysed for time to hire, channel performance and drop-off rates, bottlenecks identified and improvements proposed.

Possible hands-on projects

Job ad checker

An app that checks ad copy for inclusive language, readability, length and missing information such as salary range or working model and suggests improvements.

Interview guide generator

An internal tool that turns a job description into structured questions, rating scales and a scorecard for the interview panel.

Sourcing string builder

A small tool that combines job titles, synonyms, skills and exclusions into search strings for different platforms and saves them.

Data protection & compliance

Selection processes must comply with anti-discrimination law such as the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG); AI must not disadvantage people based on age, gender or origin. Applicant data is protected by the GDPR, solely automated rejections are not permitted under Article 22 GDPR, and AI systems for screening and selecting candidates are high-risk under the EU AI Act.

Prerequisites

You work in recruiting or talent acquisition and know your organisation's hiring process.

Frequently asked questions

May AI pre-screen applications?

Systems that filter or rank applications are classified as high-risk AI under the EU AI Act, with extensive obligations. The GDPR also prohibits solely automated rejections. The course therefore focuses on AI for communication, structure and preparation, while screening and decisions remain with people.

How do we avoid discrimination by AI?

Language models can reproduce biases from their training data, for example in job ad wording. Check outputs specifically for protected characteristics, use structured criteria and never enter sensitive data into AI tools. We practise concrete review questions that you can adopt in your process.
