✏️ Editor’s Desk: AI in Hiring Needs a Human Heart
AI promises speed and scale in hiring, but without intentional safeguards, it can quietly reinforce the very biases we’re trying to overcome. From resume filters that penalize women to opaque black-box algorithms, HR teams must go beyond efficiency and embrace equity.
This week’s guide dives deep into 8 essential strategies, from bias-aware data curation and blind hiring to explainable AI and routine audits. The message is clear: AI can support fair hiring, but only if we design it to. Bias isn’t a bug, it’s a risk that must be actively managed.
Fairness in AI isn’t a single fix; it’s a system of ethics, oversight, and culture. If you're using or planning to use AI in recruitment, this one’s a must-read.
