Syllabus

6 modules, earned in sequence.

01

Foundations: Where AI Belongs in People Work

Establish a clear standard for deploying AI across talent, recruiting, and people operations, separating tasks that should be augmented from those that must stay human. Set the fairness, privacy, and trust baseline before any tool touches a candidate or employee.

  • Augment vs. Automate: The People Decision Test
  • Bias and Privacy as Design Constraints
  • Protecting Morale and Institutional Knowledge
02

Sourcing and Screening Assist, Bias-Aware

Build an AI-assisted sourcing and screening workflow that widens the funnel and speeds the first pass without letting a model make the hiring call. Codify your real criteria into checks the AI can apply, with a recruiter always owning who advances and who is declined.

  • Writing Criteria a Model Cannot Twist
  • Ranking and Surfacing, Never Auto-Rejecting
  • Testing for Disparate Impact Continuously
03

Interview and Scheduling Automation

Automate the logistics of interviewing, the scheduling, reminders, and coordination, where automation genuinely helps, while keeping the human evaluation of candidates firmly with interviewers. Use AI to give candidates a faster, more respectful experience, not a colder one.

  • Scheduling: The Right Place to Automate Fully
  • AI in the Interview Itself: Support, Don't Score
  • Note-Taking, Recording, and Consent
04

Onboarding Workflows

Use AI to make onboarding faster, more consistent, and less error-prone across the operational steps, while keeping the human connection that determines whether a new hire stays. Automate the paperwork and provisioning, protect the relationship and the institutional knowledge transfer.

  • Automating the Paperwork, Not the Welcome
  • Self-Service Answers Without Isolation
  • Capturing Knowledge Before It Walks Out
05

Internal HR Service Agents

Deploy AI assistants that answer employee HR questions accurately and route the rest to people, handling routine volume while protecting confidentiality and human access for everything sensitive. Build them on your real policies, with clear escalation and tight privacy controls.

  • Grounding the Agent in Real Policy
  • Escalation: Knowing When to Hand Off
  • Confidentiality and Measuring the Right Things
06

Governance, Compliance, and Measuring Success

Put the operating discipline around your HR AI deployments: the legal compliance, the auditability, the human oversight, and the metrics that prove you are building capacity rather than cutting corners. This is what turns scattered tools into a defensible, durable program.

  • The Compliance Floor You Cannot Skip
  • Auditability and Human Oversight by Design
  • Measuring Success the DNAi Way

Each module ends with a checkpoint; the final exam unlocks once every checkpoint is passed.
