1. Purpose
{{Agency Name}} ("the agency", "we") recognises that artificial intelligence (AI) tools can improve sourcing, screening and communications. This policy sets out how AI tools may and may not be used, so that we capture those benefits without creating unacceptable risk to candidates, fairness, client confidentiality, or our legal and regulatory obligations.
This policy exists to help people use AI confidently and safely. It is not here to ban it.
2. Scope
"AI tools" means any system that generates, analyses, classifies, predicts or transforms content using machine learning or large language models. It applies however the tool is reached: a website, a desktop or mobile app, a browser extension or plug-in, a model running locally on a device, an assistant built into an operating system, or a direct API connection.
