Is SmartRecruiters compliant with the EU AI Act?

Short answer: it depends on how you use it. The Act does not certify tools as “compliant”. It classifies each use into a risk tier, and your obligations follow from there.

Used to screen, rank, or evaluate people, these tools can fall under Annex III(4), the high-risk category for employment. Used only for scheduling or templated outreach, the risk is usually lower.

What this means for you

If your organisation uses SmartRecruiters in the EU, you are a deployer. Inventory the system, write down what you use it for, and classify that use. Then handle the obligations that apply: AI literacy for everyone, transparency for customer-facing use, and the heavier high-risk duties only where an Annex III purpose is involved.

SmartRecruitersin Veillo’s catalog

SmartRecruitersisn’t in our counsel-reviewed catalog yet. That doesn’t leave you stuck: when you add it in Veillo and say how you use it, the rules engine classifies that use right away, an AI-assisted suggestion fills any gap, and anything high-risk routes to a person before it becomes a record. As counsel reviews this tool, the reviewed answer appears here and flows into every account that uses it.
