AI in Charity Recruitment: Practical Tools, Real Ethics, and Closing the Gap
AI is reshaping recruitment — but for many charities, it still feels like something happening to other sectors, not to them. Tight budgets, limited tech capacity, and genuine ethical concerns about bias and candidate experience have left a lot of non-profits watching from the sidelines, unsure where to start or whether it's even appropriate.
This session cuts through the noise. We're not here to talk about AI in theory — we want to know what's actually working for in-house teams right now, what's fallen flat, and how charities can use these tools in ways that are practical, affordable, and consistent with their values. We'll also take the ethical questions seriously: what happens when AI shapes who gets through, and how transparent should you be with candidates about how their application is being handled?
Whether you're already experimenting or haven't touched it yet, this is a conversation worth having with peers who are navigating the same pressures.
This is not a webinar. It's a small group conversation with cameras on, real examples shared, and honest discussion expected. Come prepared to talk about where your organisation actually is — not where you'd like it to be.
For in-house recruiters and HR professionals working in the non-profit sector.
