We run a job board for traveling skilled trades workers and we do use AI on resumes, so this is our problem too. The constraints we settled on: it works from information the candidate already made public, we do not train models on user data, and every one of those tools also works fully by hand, so a human path always exists. None of that is a legal opinion – it is just the version we could say out loud to a candidate if we ever had to. We wrote it up at how we use AI on resumes and candidate summaries.
