    Why it matters

    What most courses get wrong, and what this one does differently

    From

    A vendor tour showing what AI automates and your time-to-hire reduction, which sells enthusiasm and creates compliance exposure

    To

    Leading with the trade-off first: efficiency against fairness, in the opening scenario, before covering a single tool

    From

    Treating governance as the final module, after teaching everything you are not yet compliant to deploy

    To

    Framing Module 4 as the licence to operate for Modules 1 to 3, which is what the regulation actually requires

    From

    Assuming the hard part is choosing the right tool

    To

    Teaching the actual accountability: a decision system you did not build, cannot fully inspect, and must be able to explain to a candidate, a works council, or a regulator

    Outcomes

    FAQ

    Questions, answered honestly

    If an AI system's output influences a decision about someone's employment, in the EU it is likely to fall in the high-risk category: recruitment, screening, evaluation, promotion, termination, task allocation, and performance monitoring are all named. It applies extraterritorially, so a US company hiring in the EU is in scope. The compliance timeline has been moving, so verify the current dates with qualified counsel; the substance is not in dispute.

    No. Providers and deployers have separate obligations, and the deployer's cannot be contracted away. Human oversight, transparency to affected candidates and employees, notifying workers before deployment, and incident reporting sit with the employer. If your vendor cannot evidence their side, that is your exposure, not theirs.

    Not automatically. The Commission has been clear that a human in the loop is how you meet the oversight obligation, not a way to avoid the high-risk classification. And in practice, a reviewer who rubber-stamps a ranked list is providing oversight in name only.

    It can be more consistent, which is not the same thing. A model trained on your hiring history will reproduce your historical preferences at scale, with the appearance of objectivity. Consistency applied to a biased pattern is worse, not better, because it removes the variance that occasionally produced a different outcome.

    No. It is written for HR professionals and leaders. You will not build models. You will learn what the tools do, where they fail, what you are accountable for, and how to govern them.

    It is a verified digital credential you can share and verify online. It is not an accredited or government-recognised qualification, and it is not legal advice. CPD recognition is in progress.

    Yes, and it works best that way. HR, legal, and IT all have a role in HR AI governance, and a shared vocabulary is the precondition. Team access with volume pricing and central billing is available on request.
