The EU AI Act for recruitment agencies
Recruitment is one of the most exposed sectors under the EU AI Act. If you use AI to screen or rank candidates, you are likely deploying a high-risk system.
The Act lists AI used in recruitment and candidate selection under Annex III(4), the high-risk category for employment. That brings the heaviest deployer obligations: human oversight, technical documentation, and record-keeping.
Not everything an agency does with AI is high-risk. Drafting job ads, scheduling, and templated outreach usually sit at minimal-risk. The line is whether the AI evaluates or ranks people.
