Applicability

Where this guidance applies

Jurisdiction and scope

Australia-focused employment guidance

The employment, discrimination and privacy references are Australian. Outside Australia, verify local law, internal policy and decision authority before using the guidance for consequential people decisions.

Check before acting

  • The workflow supports preparation and consistency, not candidate ranking or employment decisions.
  • Protected attributes, reasonable adjustments, privacy and procedural fairness require authoritative local advice.

Bit, the Human Bit guide

Prepare, do not decide

Turn rough notes into a clear update

What real decision should turn rough notes into a clear update support, and what source material are you authorised to use?

  • Turns an approved role description into draft criteria, interview questions and candidate communications
  • Use the canonical task workflow and keep its assumptions visible
  • Prepare a first turn rough notes into a clear update artefact for human review

Human decision

Authorised people decide the role requirements, how evidence is weighed, what fairness requires and who is hired, progressed or declined.

Human plus AI workflow

Use AI without hiding the responsibility

The same sequence works across the role, while the consequence changes the strength of the checkpoint.

  1. 01

    Define job-related criteria, protected information, decision owners and permitted data use

  2. 02

    Ask AI for a transparent structure, not a ranking or suitability score

  3. 03

    Compare each summary with original material and record missing context

  4. 04

    Bring qualified people into the decision and test for discriminatory treatment

  5. 05

    Communicate humanely and retain an auditable reason for the decision

The decision stays human

Someone must be able to stand behind the result.

Authorised people decide the role requirements, how evidence is weighed, what fairness requires and who is hired, progressed or declined.

Verification required

  • Compare summaries and extracted evidence with original applications, notes or policy
  • Check criteria are job-related and protected characteristics or proxies did not shape the result
  • Verify privacy, workplace law, policy and adjustment questions with authoritative sources
