The first thing a great candidate sees is a job ad, and the first week on the job shapes whether a new hire ever truly settles in — both moments are being reshaped right now by generative AI. This training programme from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy gives HR professionals a full picture of how generative technologies are reworking the recruitment experience from end to end.

The focus is practical: using smart tools not only to write job content, but to sharpen initial candidate screening, improve interview accuracy, and support personalised, professional communication with candidates throughout the process. The programme then carries that same thinking into onboarding, showing how generative AI can design onboarding journeys that get new employees productive and engaged from day one.

It's a strong fit for anyone who wants to bring more precision and professionalism to talent acquisition, selection, and onboarding by putting the latest AI advancements to practical use.
