AI in Recruitment & HR: Beginner's Course

Artificial Intelligence is becoming part of daily recruitment and HR work — and those who learn how to use it will have a clear advantage. In this course on AI in Recruitment and HR, you will learn how to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot to support real recruitment and hiring workflows. What we will cover:We start with the basics, so terms like LLM, NLP, and GenAI will stop sounding abstract and start making sense.

Then you will learn how to prompt effectively and get more useful results from AI tools. From there, we move into practical examples of how ChatGPT and Copilot can support your daily work — from writing job descriptions, sourcing candidates, and creating outreach messages to screening CVs, preparing interviews, doing market research, and analysing hiring data. We also cover important topics such as data privacy, confidentiality, responsible AI usage, and how to reduce bias in hiring processes, so you can use AI more safely and in line with company expectations.

As part of the fundamentals, I also briefly introduce AI agents without going into technical implementation. Who will benefit from this course:This course is designed mainly for recruiters and HR professionals who want to start using AI more effectively in their work. It is suitable both for absolute beginners who have never used generative AI tools before, and for professionals who already have access to tools like ChatGPT or Copilot but want to use them in a more practical and structured way.

If you are completely new to AI, this course will help you understand the basics and show you how AI can support common recruitment and hiring tasks. If you already have some experience with GenAI, you will get more ideas on prompting and a wider range of practical examples you can start applying in your daily work. This course may also be useful for company owners or team leads who are considering whether GenAI tools could bring value to their hiring teams.

In that case, you will benefit not only from the use cases themselves, but also from the sections focused on safe and responsible AI usage. How we will learn:Each concept is explained through practical examples where we write prompts together, review the AI outputs, and look at how to improve the results. My goal is not just to show you what to type, but to help you understand why certain prompts work better than others and how to think about AI in a useful way.

At the end of each section, I include a prompt cheat sheet that you can download and use in your own work. The course also includes a fun role-play based on a real recruiter–hiring manager conversation. In this exercise, you will use AI and the knowledge from the course to respond quickly to the manager’s questions and support the discussion with your own recommendations.

Although many examples in this course focus on hiring for technical roles, the same workflows and approaches can be applied to any industry or role. So no technical background or prior experience is needed to follow this course. Why choose me as your instructor?

I am a Senior Tech Recruiter with real-world hiring experience. The workflows and use cases in this course are based on situations where AI genuinely helped me work faster and more effectively. I did not want to create "just another" AI basics course built around general recommendations.

I wanted to show real examples where we use AI together, look at prompts and outputs, and learn how to work smarter with these tools in practice. By the end of this course, my goal is that you will:feel more confident using AI and writing promptsidentify useful AI workflows for your daily workstart using GenAI more actively and with more purposespend less time on repetitive tasks and admin workbuild a solid foundation you can later expand with more advanced AI knowledgeAI will not replace recruiters or HR professionals — but those who learn how to use it well and apply it in practice will have a significant advantage.
