AI in Recruitment: Transparency, Compliance and Candidate Trust

Event Details

As AI and automation become more common in recruitment, new privacy law reforms will require organisations to be more transparent about how technology influences decisions about candidates.

Join APSCo and Tanvi Mehta-Krensel from Squire Patton Boggs to explore the proposed changes to the Australian Privacy Principles (APP 1.7-1.9) and what they could mean for staffing and recruitment businesses.

What are APP 1.7-1.9?

Proposed privacy law reforms that require organisations to be more transparent about the use of AI and automated systems when making decisions about individuals. For recruiters, this could mean explaining when technology is being used to screen, rank, match or otherwise influence candidate outcomes.

We'll discuss what this means for recruiters, including what information may need to be disclosed to candidates and how organisations can prepare for compliance while maintaining efficiency and innovation.

We'll cover:

• What the new APP 1.7-1.9 requirements mean in plain English.

   

• When AI, automation and candidate matching tools may be captured by the reforms.

   

• What candidates may need to be told about automated decision-making.

   

• Updates that may be required to privacy policies and collection notices.

   

• Practical steps recruitment businesses can take to prepare.

   

• Questions recruiters should be asking technology vendors and platform providers.
