AI used for recruitment, candidate filtering, interview ranking, or worker evaluation is a strong high-risk signal because it can affect employment opportunities.
Likely high-risk or specialist-review use case.
Who this checker is for
HR software teams, recruiting agencies, ATS vendors, and employers evaluating AI candidate screening.
Risk signals to check
Use this page as a scenario-specific starting point. The prefilled checker turns these signals into the underlying EU AI Act questionnaire and keeps every answer editable.
- The AI influences who receives an interview, job offer, or rejection.
- The system scores skills, personality, performance, or fit.
- Human review may be too shallow to change the practical outcome.
- Applicants may need notice, documentation, and a way to contest errors.
Launch review workflow
Treat the first result as a launch-readiness conversation, not a final legal answer. The practical goal is to make the use case, affected people, oversight route, and evidence trail visible before the product ships.
-
Define the decision point
Write down whether the system only assists with resume ranking or changes access, ranking, priority, pricing, eligibility, or review.
-
Map affected people
List who sees the output, who is affected by it, and whether the system is offered in the EU market or used for EU users.
-
Check human oversight
Decide where a trained person can review, override, explain, or stop the AI output before it creates a material impact.
-
Collect launch evidence
Start with Intended purpose statement, then keep the risk result, key assumptions, reviewer notes, and user-facing disclosures together.
Documents to prepare
A useful first pass is not only a risk label. Teams should also collect the working notes that a reviewer, customer, investor, or internal launch owner will ask for.
- Intended purpose statement
- Bias and data governance notes
- Human review workflow
- Applicant transparency notice
- Audit and decision logging plan

Frequently asked questions
Does a recruiter reviewing the final list remove the risk?
Not automatically. If the AI ranking strongly shapes the shortlist, the use case may still need high-risk review and documentation.
Can this tool approve a hiring product as compliant?
No. It is a first-pass triage tool that helps identify escalation signals before legal or compliance review.
