Recruiting AI in Practice
For recruiters, TA leaders, and HR ops past basic AI literacy. Eight chapters across the full hiring funnel: intent-based sourcing automation (LinkedIn Hiring Assistant, hireEZ, Findem); resume screening with the four bias mitigations (blind data, calibrated thresholds, audit logs, human override) anchored in Bloomberg + Wilson & Caliskan; structured-interview AI grounded in Sackett 2022; candidate experience copilots with the three-sentence disclosure pattern; offer + onboarding AI with comp guardrails and the surveillance line; workforce planning AI with the historical-data trap; compliance posture across the 2026 quadrant (US federal Mobley v. Workday vendor-as-agent doctrine, US state laws, EU AI Act Art. 26 from Aug 2026, India DPDP); and the close — a two-quarter rollout playbook the CHRO will sign off on.

Sourcing automation
The TA stack moved from recruiter-driven to agent-augmented to agent-operated. LinkedIn Hiring Assistant numbers, hireEZ + Findem + Eightfold shift, the AI-spam trap (LinkedIn 87% InMail cap), and the GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) gotcha for EU outreach.
Resume screening & the 4 bias mitigations
Bloomberg study (11% top-rank for Black women) + Wilson & Caliskan AIES 2024 (85.1% white-name preference). The four mitigations: blind data, calibrated thresholds, audit logs, human override. Mobley v. Workday vendor-as-agent doctrine.
Interview prep with AI
Sackett 2022: structured interviews are the strongest single predictor of job performance (r ≈ 0.42). HireVue cautionary tale. AI's role: enforce structured-interview discipline, not generate clever questions.
Candidate experience copilots
Talent Board CandE 2024 — 29% never heard back, 48% unhappy with feedback. One design decision separates lift from disaster: transparency. The three-sentence disclosure pattern.
Offer & onboarding AI
Two uses that work: offer letters with comp-band guardrails, personalised onboarding without surveillance. India DPDP Section 7(1)(i) covers recruitment but requires 180-day post-exit deletion.
Workforce planning AI
Deloitte + McKinsey 2024 framework. Three use cases that work (scenarios, skills gaps, pipeline forecast). The failure mode: models trained on past patterns project past patterns — including bias.
Compliance posture: the 2026 quadrant
Four jurisdictions, all live by Aug 2026: US federal (EEOC + Mobley vendor-as-agent), US state (NYC LL144, Illinois AIVIA, Colorado SB24-205), EU AI Act (Annex III + Art. 26 + Art. 99), India DPDP Section 7(1)(i).
Making it stick: your funnel-wide rollout
Two-quarter rollout playbook. Pick three funnel stages (not seven). Sequence Q1 (sourcing + interview) + Q2 (candidate copilot). Save screening for next year. Quarterly bias-audit, annual vendor review.
