Breaking Bias; is AI killing the CV?

Tags: AI, Recruitment Process, Recruitment Transformation

In this instalment of The View, Neil Armstrong sits down with Andrew Wood, Chief Customer Officer at Willo, to take on one of recruitment’s most provocative debates: can AI ever truly eliminate bias – or is it quietly ushering in a CV-free world we’re not ready for?

You’ll hear real talk about how AI and video screening tools are reshaping candidate experience, what we gain (and lose) when we move past the CV, and how recruiters can hold the line on fairness while embracing new tech. Whether you’re optimistic, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this episode arms you to make better decisions about AI in hiring.

For talent leaders, HR professionals, and recruitment tech adopters who believe technology should expand fairness – not erode it.
