Belong Amsterdam panel discussion: beyond bias – the role of AI in inclusive hiring
Can we trust AI to support an inclusive recruitment process or are we quietly adding our own biases into the machine?
As part of our Belong Amsterdam Network initiative, we are excited to host a panel discussion on inclusive hiring and AI in partnership with LinkedIn and Microsoft.
The Belong Amsterdam Network is led by Rachael Crocker, Managing Director, The SR Group, who will be moderating our expert Q&A.
You can join our Network and access private events, workshops and tailored resources designed to enhance your skills and knowledge in inclusive recruitment here.
Our panellists Val Sampimon, Customer Success Leader, LinkedIn, Anne-Mieke Martyn, Head Global Executive Talent Acquisition, Rabobank, and Carlo Steenvoorden, EVP HR Workforce Transformation, People Services, People Analytics and AI, KPN, will go beyond the hype to focus on what really works: practical, inclusive approaches to AI in hiring that widen access, improve fairness and strengthen decision‑making.
