AI recruitment tools are creating legal exposure most HR teams don't yet understand. Under the Equality Act, liability arises from the effect of a decision, not whether bias was intentional. You're liable for your algorithm's discrimination.
AI tools can create opaque risk. Every Diversity Jobsite listing creates a dated record you can produce and explain in a tribunal.
A single discrimination claim can lead to uncapped compensation. Documented outreach evidence gives you a stronger position to defend your process.
Anonymised composites based on real tribunal patterns. Each one could have been prevented with dated outreach evidence.
A council was challenged on the diversity of their shortlist for a senior role. They had advertised on one mainstream job board. They could not show evidence of outreach to ethnic minority or disabled candidates.
A disabled applicant's discrimination claim centred not on the interview but on the outreach. The trust could not demonstrate the vacancy was advertised through disability-accessible channels or in Easy Read format.
Under governance review, the firm was asked to evidence inclusive hiring practices. Their board report said "we are committed to diversity." The auditor asked for dated, role-level evidence. They had none.
