EU AI Act compliance for recruitment & HR AI

AI that screens CVs, ranks candidates, or manages workers is explicitly listed as high-risk under the EU AI Act. If you build or deploy it, the high-risk obligations apply to you.

Why it is in scope

Annex III(4) covers AI used for recruitment, candidate evaluation, and decisions affecting work relationships — a high-risk category with the full obligation set.

Key obligations

• Risk management system (Article 9)
• Data governance for training data quality and bias (Article 10)
• Annex IV technical documentation (Article 11)
• Human oversight of automated decisions (Article 14)
• A fundamental rights impact assessment (Article 27)
• Conformity assessment and EU database registration (Articles 43, 49)
