Topic: AI Has Landed in HR: The Legal Landscape and Risk Mitigation Strategies for Hiring in the Digital Age
Gone are the days of paper applications, telephone screens and hour after hour of in-person interviews. A wave of technology and data science-based tools have hit the HR market. Vendors are offering innovative tools ranging from automated resume review to algorithmic-scored video interviews. Many of these tools promise a better candidate experience, greater efficiency in the hiring process and the ability to predict successful performance or turnover rates. For resource-strapped HR professionals and/or employers who desire to be on the cutting edge of technology, these tools offer exciting solutions to age-old challenges. However, some have not been developed with legal or compliance risks in mind.
This session will provide an overview of the legal framework that applies to these new tools, including recent legal developments. We’ll tackle questions such as: Do these tools pose greater risk than traditional selection methods? Can they reduce risk by eliminating human bias? How will EEOC and OFCCP evaluate these new tools? Are these tools pre-employment tests that must be validated? Finally, each participant will leave the session armed with practical guidance on a due diligence process to use with vendors. Together, we’ll explore the many possible benefits, potential pitfalls and risk mitigation measures related to using these cutting-edge hiring tools.
