A half-day, hands-on programme for recruiters, recruitment agencies and in-house talent teams. AI won't build your client relationships or close the offer, but it will write the adverts, draft the outreach, summarise the CVs and clear the admin — so you spend more time on the phone and less time on the keyboard.
Recruitment is a relationship business buried under writing: job ads, InMails, candidate updates, interview notes, client reports and compliance records. AI takes that writing off your desk in minutes rather than hours. This session is built around the real daily work of UK recruiters, whether you bill on permanent placements, run a contract desk or hire in-house, with fair hiring and candidate data protection taught from the start.

Most of a recruiter's value sits in judgement and relationships: knowing which candidate will thrive with which hiring manager, hearing the hesitation on a call, holding a deal together at offer stage. None of that is going anywhere. What AI takes off a recruiter is the writing around it, the part of the job that happens between calls and usually after hours.
That is where the time goes. A job advert drafted from a voice note of the client brief. A Boolean string for a niche contract role built in seconds rather than by trial and error. Ten tailored outreach messages instead of one copied template. Interview notes turned into a client-ready candidate submission before you have finished your coffee. A weekly client update that actually reads like market insight.
Faster adverts, sharper outreach, cleaner candidate submissions and more consistent BD activity, which means more time on the phone with clients and candidates and less time writing.
Better job descriptions agreed with hiring managers first time, structured interview packs for every role, clearer candidate communication and easier reporting to the business.
A consistent standard of writing across every consultant's desk, a clear team policy on candidate data, and marketing and thought-leadership content that no longer depends on finding a spare afternoon.
This matters enough to say plainly, because a lot of AI-for-recruitment marketing skates past it. AI can inform a hiring decision, but a person must make it. A model will happily rank a stack of CVs with total confidence, and it can quietly reproduce bias from its training data or from the wording of your own brief. In recruitment that is not a minor error: it can mean a good candidate unfairly rejected and a discrimination claim under the Equality Act 2010.
UK GDPR adds a second reason. Candidates have rights around decisions made solely by automated means that significantly affect them, and the Information Commissioner's Office has examined AI tools used in recruitment and published recommendations for recruiters and tool providers. The safe pattern is simple: set the criteria yourself, use AI to summarise and structure, have a named person make and record each shortlisting decision, and be open with candidates about how you use AI.
Identifiable CVs and contact details, salary and offer information, right-to-work documents, references, health and diversity data, and anything confidential about a client's hiring plans. Use business-grade tools your firm has approved, anonymise where you can, and write the rules down so everyone on the desk follows the same ones.
The recruitment teams that get value from AI do the same three things. They pick the recurring job that eats the most time, usually job adverts or candidate submissions, and get that reliably good before adding anything else. They save the prompts that worked somewhere the whole desk can reach, so the skill is not locked in one consultant's head. And they agree what candidate and client data never goes into a public tool.
We spend the session working on your own roles, briefs and templates rather than a generic example, so what you leave with is a set of habits and a folder of prompts built around your real week. If you are still weighing things up, our guides on whether AI will replace employees, how to write an AI policy and keeping information safe with AI tools are a good place to start.
Yes, and it is usually the first quick win. Give it the client brief, the must-have skills, the salary band and the tone you want and it will draft an advert that sells the role rather than listing duties. Recruiters then check it for accuracy, strip out any wording that could put protected groups off applying, and tailor it for each job board or LinkedIn.
It can be, but the recruiter must stay in control of the decision. Under UK GDPR, candidates have rights around solely automated decisions with significant effects, and the Equality Act 2010 still applies if a tool screens people out unfairly. Use AI to summarise CVs against criteria you have set, to structure notes and to flag questions, then have a person make and record every shortlisting decision.
No. AI takes over the writing and admin that fills a recruiter's day: adverts, outreach drafts, interview notes, candidate updates and client reports. It does not build trust with a hiring manager, read a candidate's motivation on a call or close an offer. Recruiters who use AI well get more time for the relationship work that actually fills roles.
Identifiable candidate CVs and contact details, salary and offer information, right-to-work documents, references, health or diversity data, and anything confidential about a client's hiring plans. Use a business-grade tool your firm has approved, anonymise where you can, and agree the rules as a team before anyone starts pasting in real data.
We work with the general-purpose assistants most recruiters already have access to, such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude and Gemini, and show how the same skills carry across to the AI features now built into ATS and CRM platforms and LinkedIn Recruiter. The focus is on skills and safe habits rather than one vendor, so the training stays useful when tools change.
