Description

Learn how to use AI for recruitment tasks while keeping people responsible for hiring decisions. This beginner course covers job descriptions, CV screening and bias checks, with attention to hiring contexts in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Nigeria. Each topic includes an overview and set-up, core concepts, a worked example, hands-on practice and a quiz. Practise turning role requirements into clear job descriptions, comparing CV evidence against consistent criteria and checking AI outputs for unsupported assumptions or unfair exclusions. Finish with a graded project that brings these tasks together. Use fictional or anonymised candidate information, verify AI-generated claims and treat AI suggestions as material to review—not as final hiring decisions.

Who this course is for

  • HR assistants who draft vacancy notices and review applications.
  • Recruiters who want a structured way to check AI-assisted screening.
  • Small-business owners who handle their own hiring.
  • Team leads who help define roles and shortlist applicants.
