Check an AI candidate summary against the resume

Module 1: What AI already does in HR and recruiting

Course outline

Quick check

Guess first, no penalty. A candidate's resume (their written work history) says "coordinated a 12-person team project". The AI summary says "managed a team of 12". What happened?

AI summaries of resumes save time, but they can add or upgrade details: a bigger title, a team size, a tool the person never listed. Ask about one in an interview and the candidate is confused.

Resumes are personal data, meaning information about a person who can be identified. Only paste them into tools your company has approved.

Check the summary against the resume
