The Use of AI and Automated Decision-Making in Recruitment at EDF

You are required to meet the pre-requisites for the programme as specified in the job advert (such as degree discipline and grade) and we use Technology to help us identify those candidates that meet this, based on the information you provide us as part of your application.

Eligible candidates are then invited to complete online assessments designed to measure behaviours and strengths relevant to the programme.  A pass score will be chosen by the EDF Recruitment Team for each assessment per programme. Only candidates that achieve this score will be progressed forward in the recruitment process. We use Technology to help us identify which candidates have passed and failed the assessment based on the pre-defined scoring.

Both of the above steps are forms of Automated Decision Making. We do not use Automated Decision Making in any other part of the recruitment process.

If you want to challenge an automated decision

If you feel that an automated decision has unfairly affected your progression in the recruitment process, you can formally contest this by:

• requesting further information from us about how the decision was made.
• providing additional information, context or correcting information that you believe should have been considered; and/or
• requesting a formal review of the decision by a member of the Early Careers Recruitment team.

You can do this by contacting us on yourfuture@edfenergy.com. To ensure we can take appropriate action in a timely manner, we ask that all requests are submitted within 5 working days from the date that we sent you an email informing you that your application for the relevant role was unsuccessful. For any requests submitted after this date, we will respond to you, but we may be unable to re-consider your application as recruitment to our programmes follows a pre-determined timeline.
