Meghan Anzelc, Ph.D. shared her perspective on a comprehensive ethical recruiting strategy in today’s article “Ethical Considerations in AI-Powered Recruitment.”
“Ethical considerations are critical for AI applications in recruitment, including appropriately balancing ethics and compliance with ROI when making build vs. buy decisions.
