Ensuring EU AI Act compliance & ethical AI practices

As HR tools and platforms rush to integrate AI, it’s becoming essential for HR and talent teams to understand how these systems actually work and whether they comply with evolving laws and regulations.

The EU AI Act, set to take effect in 2026, will be a landmark regulation with major implications for how AI is used in hiring and recruitment.

Before adopting new tools or AI features, HR and TA teams need to ensure compliance by asking vendors the right questions about how their systems work, how they’re trained, and how they safeguard fairness, transparency, and ethical use.

Together with AI-powered screening vendor Hubert, we've created a practical checklist of questions to support talent teams through the buying process. 

Use this guide to help you:

•  Understand not just what the tool does, but how it does it

• Tell the difference between superficial automation and science-backed, compliant solutions

• Spot red flags in opaque or LLM-driven scoring systems
