Who it suits

Made for beginners.

You do not need to have worked in HR or to know AI. You learn the everyday HR tasks first, then where an assistant helps and where a person must decide.
  • Students of management, HR, commerce, psychology and law.
  • Anyone who wants to write better role descriptions, plan interviews and read people data fairly.
  • Read the notes on a phone, a tablet or a laptop.
Five numbered rows: role, task, context, format and check, each with a short example for a training-day notice.

What you will learn

Eight weeks, one picture each

Every week is open from day one. Each lesson takes a few minutes.
  1. Six tiles: hiring, onboarding, learning, staff questions, performance and people data, each with a short example of AI help.

    Week 1

    AI in HR: myths and real uses

    Name where AI is used in HR, separate three common myths from the facts, and sort your own tasks into draft, analyse and person-decides.

  2. Five numbered rows: role, task, context, format and check, each with a short example for a training-day notice.

    Week 2

    Prompting for HR work

    Write an HR prompt with role, task, context, format and check, remove personal data before you send it, and keep a small set of reusable prompts.

  3. Five parts to give an assistant: the role and purpose, the real duties, must-haves, nice-to-haves, and tone and rules.

    Week 3

    Recruitment: role descriptions, adverts, screening support

    Draft a clear, inclusive role advert with an AI assistant, remove wording that puts people off, and use AI to support screening while a person makes every decision.

  4. Five parts of a guide: welcome and plan, five questions the same for all, scoring notes, candidate questions and close, score alone then compare.

    Week 4

    Interviews and onboarding

    Draft a structured interview guide with scoring notes and a first-week plan with an AI assistant, check both against the role, and keep people in charge of every decision.

  5. Four steps: manager notes, AI draft, manager check against the notes, then a conversation with the team member.

    Week 5

    Performance, learning and engagement

    Turn review notes into balanced feedback with an AI assistant, then check the draft for vague or biased wording before a manager sees it.

  6. Four formulas: attrition, time to fill, cost per hire and offer acceptance rate.

    Week 6

    People analytics basics

    Work out attrition rate and average time to fill in a spreadsheet, say what each number does and does not tell you, and question a prediction before acting on it.

  7. Past hiring records feed an AI tool, which repeats the same unfair pattern in new shortlists.

    Week 7

    Bias, fairness, privacy and the law in plain words

    Spot bias and privacy risks in an AI hiring tool and say which safeguard each one needs.

  8. The five parts of a playbook: approved uses, banned uses, data rules, human sign-off and tested prompts.

    Week 8

    An HR AI playbook (mini project)

    Write a one-page HR AI playbook with approved uses, banned uses, data rules, sign-off points and five tested prompts.

Approved uses such as drafting adverts, and banned uses such as ranking people or rejecting anyone alone.

Practice, if you like

Try it on made-up cases.

Each week ends with a worked exercise on an invented company and invented people, with a good result described. Skip them if you prefer.
  • Free tools: a free chat assistant and Google Sheets.
  • Invented candidates and staff only, never real people.
  • A mini project in week 8: an HR AI playbook.
  • Best on a laptop or tablet. A phone works for reading.

Questions

Quick answers

Is the AI for HR and Recruitment Internship really free?

Yes. Joining is free and so are all eight weeks, the weekly checks and the final quiz. You pay only if you choose an optional add-on.

How long can I take?

This internship runs for 1 to 8 weeks. You pick a start date and can change your plan later. All eight weeks are open from day one, so a short plan moves fast and a long one gives you room.

What do I need?

A laptop or phone, Google Sheets and a free AI assistant account. Every tool used is free or has a free tier, so there is nothing to buy. The notes also read well on a phone.

What will I actually do?

You read short notes with diagrams, watch a few videos and take an easy check each week. Each week ends with a worked exercise, such as drafting a role description, planning interview questions, writing an onboarding checklist or spotting bias in a screening rule. Week 8 turns what you learned into a short playbook.

What do I get at the end?

A certificate of completion is an optional paid document, issued by Wartens Ltd (UK). It has a QR code and a number, so anyone can verify it at edwartens.com/verification. The lessons stay free, and you can finish without buying anything.

Is this a paid position?

No. It is training, not employment. Nothing is paid to you, and nothing here promises work with any company.

Who wrote the course?

OFORO, the Wartens AI company, wrote the notes and exercises. OFORO builds the AI behind Wartens' engineering and training work. The internship is run by Wartens Ltd (UK) and delivered through EDWartens.

What about privacy and wrong answers?

AI can repeat bias and invent facts, so a person always decides who is hired or promoted. Never paste candidates' or colleagues' personal data into a public chatbot: privacy and equality law apply everywhere. The course explains the rules in plain words and gives no legal advice.
