AI for HR / Recruiting
A written support hub for HR, recruiting, people operations, hiring managers, and business teams using AI for job descriptions, candidate communication, interview preparation, resume review support, onboarding, employee requests, policy support, fairness, and privacy.
The video page is the main learning path. This guide is the supporting article library and responsible HR AI reference.
AI Privacy Rule
Keep sensitive information out of general AI prompts, including names, family details, email addresses, phone numbers, account data, customer records, employee files, financial records, legal documents, medical information, and confidential business details. Use placeholders, redacted examples, or approved systems when needed, and keep human review before important actions. AI Privacy Rules
Use AI for support, not employment authority.
AI can help draft, summarize, organize, compare, and prepare. People remain responsible for final employment decisions, sensitive cases, fairness review, policy interpretation, and final communication.
- Protect candidate and employee data.
- Review candidate-facing and employee-facing output.
- Keep high-impact employment decisions human-led.
- Document criteria, sources, edits, reviewers, and final use.

Review-first HR AI
AI can help HR teams draft, summarize, organize, compare, route, and prepare. Qualified people remain responsible for final employment decisions, fairness review, privacy, policy interpretation, accommodations, and sensitive-case handling.
- Protect candidate and employee data: use approved tools and minimum necessary information.
- Ground the source: rely on job-relevant criteria, approved policies, role requirements, and official HR guidance.
- Review every output: especially candidate-facing, employee-facing, policy-related, and sensitive-case content.
- Escalate high-risk work: discipline, harassment, accommodation, leave, pay, safety, legal risk, and unclear outputs need qualified review.
- Track accountability: document prompts, sources, criteria, outputs, edits, reviewers, and decision rationale.
