5 questions to ask before adding AI to your hiring process

Thinking about implementing AI in your recruitment? Don’t make the mistake of buying first and asking questions later. Here are the essential questions that will save you from bias lawsuits and bad hiring decisions:

1. What problem are we actually solving? Don’t add AI just because it exists

2. What data was used to train the system? Biased training data creates biased outcomes.

3. Can we test the tool with diverse candidate profiles? You need to simulate real-world diversity.

4. How do we override incorrect recommendations? Human judgment must be preservable.

5. What happens if we discover bias? Have a remediation plan ready.

AI can dramatically improve hiring when implemented thoughtfully. But rushing into AI without answering these questions is how organizations end up in headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Take the time to get it right. Your future self will thank you.
