AI in Recruitment: Bias, Fake Candidates, and the Law

AI in recruitment illustrated as a candidate video call where half of the face breaks into a synthetic grid, next to a ranked shortlist with one flagged row

A recruiter runs 400 applications for a remote developer role through an AI shortlister, then books three video interviews. The top candidate interviews well, clears the background check, and asks for the laptop to go to a new address.

Two of those steps involved AI, and both can fail in ways the recruiter never sees. The shortlister may have dropped qualified people for reasons nobody chose, and the person on camera may not be the person on the documents.
