AI Policy

Senex Recruitment's Commitment to Responsible AI Use

At Senex Recruitment, we embrace technology that enhances the quality, efficiency, and consistency of our services. Artificial Intelligence (AI) (i.e. Chat GPT) is one of the tools we use to support certain administrative, marketing, and content-related activities.

However, AI is never used as a substitute for professional recruitment expertise, human judgement, or meaningful candidate engagement. Our recruitment services remain firmly people-focused, with experienced recruitment professionals leading every stage of the hiring process.

How We Use AI

We use AI technologies to support selected business functions where they add value without compromising quality, accuracy, or the personal service our clients and candidates expect.

Examples of how AI may be used include:

• Improving grammar, readability, formatting, and presentation of CVs and candidate profiles, job descriptions or job adverts.
• Assisting with blog writing and content generation.
• Supporting marketing activities and social media content creation.
• Creating illustrative images and graphics for website, blog, and marketing use.
• Assisting with research and administrative tasks.
• Improving document consistency and professional presentation.

Importantly, when AI is used to enhance CV formatting or presentation, the original content, skills, qualifications, experience, and achievements provided by the candidate are not altered or misrepresented. Likewise, any AI-assisted enhancements to job descriptions or advertisements are limited to improving clarity, readability, and presentation. The core requirements, responsibilities, and expectations of each role remain as defined and agreed with our clients

Our aim is to improve clarity and presentation while maintaining the integrity and accuracy of candidate and job information.

Human Oversight Comes First

All AI-assisted content is reviewed by an experienced recruitment professional before being published, shared, or submitted to clients.

Whether creating marketing materials, blog content, candidate profiles, or other communications, a trained member of the Senex Recruitment team checks the content to ensure:

• Accuracy
• Professionalism
• Relevance
• Compliance
• Brand consistency
• Appropriateness for the intended audience

AI supports our work, but responsibility remains with our recruitment professionals.

Our Recruitment Process Is Human-Led

Senex Recruitment does not use AI to make recruitment decisions.

Every recruitment activity is carried out by experienced recruitment professionals who bring years of industry knowledge, technical understanding, and specialist recruitment expertise.

This includes:

• Reviewing and vetting CVs
• Checking job adverts and descriptions
• Conducting candidate screening
• Holding discussions with candidates
• Assessing suitability for roles
• Shortlisting candidates
• Providing recruitment advice
• Presenting candidates to clients
• Managing interviews
• Supporting hiring decisions

Our consultants take the time to understand individuals, career aspirations, technical capabilities, cultural fit, and business requirements through direct human interaction.

No Automated Recruitment Decisions

Senex Recruitment does not use Artificial Intelligence or Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to automatically reject, rank, score, filter, or select candidates.

We believe recruitment is fundamentally about people, relationships, expertise, and professional judgement.

Every application received is reviewed by a recruitment professional rather than being assessed by automated technology and will remain to do so.

However do note that we have no control over third party job board website or social media platorm who will run their own apporach to AI, which is outside of our control.

Fairness, Transparency & Inclusion

We are committed to promoting fair and inclusive recruitment practices.

Technology should support equality of opportunity, not create barriers. We continually review our processes and the tools we use to ensure they align with our values of professionalism, integrity, fairness, and respect.

We believe people should be assessed on their skills, experience, potential, and suitability rather than relying on automated systems to make hiring decisions.

If you have any issue with a recruitment decision made by Senex Recruitment contact our Director Kevin McHugh to discuss.

Data Protection & Privacy

Any personal information processed by Senex Recruitment is handled in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and our Privacy Policy.

Where AI-assisted tools are used, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place and that personal information is treated responsibly and securely.

For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy or contact us directly.

AI Governance & Human Accountability

AI and Senex Recruitment

Artificial Intelligence may assist our processes, but responsibility remains human. Every candidate recommendation, client shortlist and recruitment decision made by Senex Recruitment is the result of professional human judgement, supported by technology where appropriate, never determined by it.

AI is a powerful tool that can improve efficiency, consistency, and communication. Used responsibly, it enables us to spend less time on administration and more time doing what matters most: building relationships, supporting careers, and helping businesses hire exceptional talent.

At Senex Recruitment, AI is used to augment the recruitment experience, never to replace the human expertise, insight, and professional judgement developed through years of recruitment experience.

Technology supports our recruiters.

People make the decisions.
