Case reference FOI2024/00778

Published 10 May 2024

Request

I am seeking information in relation to the use of AI in recruitment processes.

Does Herefordshire Council use AI in any part of the job recruitment process.

This can include:

identifying the hiring needs,

preparing the job description

talent search

screening and shortlisting,

interviewing,

evaluation and offer of employment,

introduction and induction of the New Employee

This also includes any AI technology that uses body-language analysis, vocal assessments, gamified tests and/or CV scanners.

If the council does use AI during any part of this process, which software is most commonly used, and since when has this software been in use? Which company provides this software?

How much have you spent on AI technology related to the use of recruitment?

Apart from using AI in recruitment, does Herefordshire Council use AI technology in any other aspect? Please specify what that is.
