AI TRAINING
AI for Independent Recruiters
Master AI tools to source faster, write better job ads, and personalise outreach at scale.
What it covers
A practical one-day workshop designed for solo recruiters and small search firms who want to integrate AI into their daily workflow without a technical background. Participants learn to rewrite job descriptions with AI, convert Boolean searches into natural-language queries, generate candidate-shortlist summaries, and craft personalised outreach messages. The session covers bias-aware screening practices and finishes with building ready-to-use interview-prep kits. Format blends short demos with hands-on exercises using real briefs.
What you'll be able to do
- Rewrite a job description using AI to improve clarity, reduce gendered language, and boost applicant relevance
- Convert a Boolean search string into a natural-language prompt and retrieve comparable results
- Produce a structured candidate-shortlist summary from a set of CVs using a repeatable AI prompt
- Draft three personalised outreach variants for the same role using AI, ready to send
- Identify at least two bias risks in AI-assisted screening and apply a mitigation checklist

Delivery
Delivered in-person or live-online (Zoom/Teams). Participants work on real or anonymised briefs they bring on the day. Trainer provides a prompt library, a bias-review checklist, and tool-comparison cheat sheet. Hands-on exercises account for roughly 60% of session time. A 30-minute follow-up Q&A can be scheduled two weeks after the workshop.
What makes it work
- Building a personal prompt library during the workshop so tools are usable the very next day
- Running one real live brief through the AI workflow during the session to build muscle memory
- Pairing AI output review with a simple human checklist to catch errors before sending
- Committing to a 30-day trial of one AI tool post-workshop with a defined metric to track
Common mistakes
- Using AI-generated JDs verbatim without checking for hallucinated requirements or inadvertent bias
- Applying generic ChatGPT prompts instead of role-specific prompts tuned to the sector
- Ignoring GDPR obligations when pasting candidate CVs into public AI tools
- Over-relying on AI shortlist summaries without cross-checking against the original brief
When NOT to take this
A large in-house talent acquisition team with a dedicated ATS and sourcing ops function — they need a more technical, systems-integration programme rather than this individual-workflow workshop.
