Presenters:

Adrian Mcdonagh
Co-founder at hireful.

Adrian founded hireful in 2005, ran his first workshop in 2009 and trains 1,000s of HR professionals and in-house recruiters every year. He loves nothing better than engaged in conversations, sharing insights and then repackaging these ideas as his own original creations.

His day-to-day role at hireful, sees him leading the product vision for their applicant tracking system (ATS). This provides him the time and scope to fulfil his passion for learning about all things AI. His personal mission is to help as many UK organisations as possible to become embrace AI and become “AI positive” employers.

The bad news: 🤖 Recruiters are being overloaded with new applications.

The good news: 🧠 With the right knowledge and approach, AI can help you shortlist more effectively, inclusively, and intelligently.

AI shortlisting is no longer just a futuristic concept — it’s here, it’s evolving fast, and it’s already shaping how recruitment teams identify top talent. But with every new innovation comes a new set of questions (and concerns).

  • Can AI really be bias-free?
  • What will the legal team say?
  • How do we make sure candidates don’t feel like they’ve been screened by Skynet?

This webinar is designed to help you confidently explore and implement AI shortlisting as part of your recruitment strategy — with a focus on fairness, transparency and performance.

In this session, we will cover:

  • ⚖️ Is AI really bias-free? A reality check on the promises vs. the pitfalls of AI shortlisting
  • 📜 Legal considerations you need to think about before switching on AI to help you shortlist
  • 📣 Building a communication strategy that reassures internal stakeholders and applicants alike
  • 🔍 How to explain to candidates and colleagues that AI is supporting — not replacing — your decision-making
  • 📊 Using AI to boost your DE&I reporting with better, more granular data you can take action with
  • 🎤 Lessons from the front line: how hireful customers have used AI over the past few months and the lessons they have learnt from it

If you’re curious about the potential of AI shortlisting — or cautious but want to stay ahead of the curve — this session will give you clarity, confidence, and a few stories to take back to the team.
