About Course

Many employers now use AI tools to source, screen and assess job candidates. This course explains the data protection and equality issues, the ICO’s recommendations from its audits of AI recruitment tools, and the key questions to ask before buying or using one.

Tutwoo is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the ICO. This course is general guidance, not legal advice; data protection and equality law in this area is developing, so check current ICO guidance and take legal advice where needed.
