Your team is already using AI. Potentially without a rule in sight
Your consultants use AI every day, to write adverts, summarise CVs, draft candidate messages and tidy up client emails. Some may be doing it with no guidance at all. Which means someone in your business has very likely pasted a candidate’s personal data, or a client’s confidential brief, into a free tool that keeps everything it’s given.
That’s the real risk, the absence of rules. It’s the kind of gap that stays invisible until a client asks how you handle their data, a candidate complains, or something inaccurate goes out with your name on it.
Why we made this
We’re a PR and communications agency built for the recruitment sector, and trust is key to the job. So we wrote our own AI policy, published it, and turned it into a template any recruitment firm can adopt. It’s the same document we use, adapted so you can make it yours.
What’s inside
- A ready-to-adapt policy covering oversight, transparency, accuracy, data protection and third-party tools.
- Plain-English guidance notes on what each section is for and what to change.
- Clear lists of where AI helps, and where it should stay well away from your work.
- Written specifically for recruitment.
- An editable Word file, so you’re adapting a document, not retyping a PDF.

How it works
Download it, replace the placeholders with your firm’s name, delete the guidance notes, and edit each section to match how you actually work. Most firms have a working policy the same afternoon.
Who it’s for
Recruitment agencies explicitly, but it works just as well for in-house talent teams, RPOs and the suppliers that serve them. If your people use AI and you haven’t written down how, this is for you.
Why trust this template
We didn’t write about AI policies in the abstract. We wrote our own, put it on our website, and stood behind it. This is that document, ready for you to make your own.
- More than 20 years in recruitment PR and communications.
- CIPR members and an APSCo trusted partner.
- The agency that publishes its own AI policy, rather than quietly hoping no one asks.
