When used poorly, there is the risk of overlooking qualified candidates, bias, digital exclusion, and potential costly legal proceedings for discrimination. What steps can your organisation take to meet guarantee fair treatment for candidates, and address the key risks, such as bias and the handling of sensitive data.
