Comment by William Malcolm

Executive Director for Regulatory Risk at the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Jobseekers want to work for an employer they can trust – this trust is built and maintained by using people’s personal information fairly and respecting their rights. Being transparent about how you are using AI and automation in your recruitment processes gives people confidence. We are here to help you get this right, providing certainty on what the law requires to ensure consistent practices across the economy.
