AI Compliance for HR & Recruitment
Navigate EU AI Act requirements for CV screening, interview AI, performance evaluation, and employment decision systems with comprehensive governance.
HR AI Challenges
Unique compliance considerations under Annex III, Category 5(d) - Employment & Workers
Recruitment AI
AI for CV screening, candidate ranking, and hiring decisions are explicitly classified as high-risk systems.
Discrimination Risk
HR AI systems can perpetuate historical biases in hiring, promotion, and termination decisions.
GDPR Article 22
Automated individual decision-making rights under GDPR create additional requirements for HR AI systems.
Termination Decisions
AI influencing dismissal or contract termination requires robust human oversight and appeal mechanisms.
HR AI Use Cases
Comprehensive compliance for every HR technology application
CV Screening & Candidate Ranking
AI systems that screen CVs, rank candidates, or filter applicants are explicitly listed as high-risk under the EU AI Act. These systems directly affect individuals' access to employment opportunities and must demonstrate fairness across protected characteristics like gender, age, ethnicity, and disability.
Governum Features
- Bias audit templates
- Demographic parity testing
- Selection rate analysis
- Adverse impact monitoring
Interview AI & Video Analysis
AI systems analyzing video interviews, assessing candidate responses, or using emotion recognition are high-risk. Emotion recognition AI in workplace settings faces additional restrictions under Article 5, with potential prohibition in certain contexts. Transparency to candidates is mandatory.
Governum Features
- Emotion AI assessment
- Transparency notices
- Consent management
- Prohibition checks
Performance Evaluation AI
AI systems used to evaluate employee performance, monitor work behavior, or make promotion decisions are classified as high-risk. These systems must ensure fairness, provide explainable outputs, and allow meaningful human oversight over career-affecting decisions.
Governum Features
- Explainability reports
- Human oversight tracking
- Appeal mechanisms
- Fairness monitoring
Termination & Contract Decisions
AI systems that influence dismissal decisions, contract terminations, or redundancy selections are high-risk with the most severe impact on individuals. These require the highest level of human oversight, clear documentation of decision factors, and robust appeal processes under both AI Act and employment law.
Governum Features
- Decision audit trails
- Employment law alignment
- Works council docs
- Appeal workflow
