Hiring AI You Can Defend

How Testgrid uses AI and automated decision-making transparently, and with you in
control.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping recruitment, but new legislation is reshaping how organisations must use it.

From 10 December 2026, Australia’s Privacy Act introduces new transparency obligations where automated decision making affects candidates. At the same time, the Australian Government’s AI Policy is raising expectations around governance, accountability and the responsible use of AI.

For HR, Talent and Compliance leaders, the challenge isn’t simply understanding the rules, it’s knowing what they mean for your hiring process.

Hiring AI You Can Defend is a practical guide designed to help organisations understand what’s changing, where the new obligations apply, and how to build hiring processes that are transparent, explainable and ready for the future.
