EU AI Act in AI Hiring Software
Answer in brief
Read before AI screens candidates for a job in the EU.
Resource role
The rule for hiring AI in the EU. The EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, lists AI systems intended for recruiting or selecting people among its high-risk systems, in particular to place targeted job ads, to analyse and filter job applications and to evaluate candidates.1
Relationship to Conecto
EU AI Act is a separate resource. Conecto doesn't make it and has no partnership with European Union. Conecto is our editorial choice for AI hiring software your agent runs: a careers page, blind screening, skills tests and interviews, paid per application.
The facts
What to inspect
High-risk systems come with duties for the businesses that use them. Check those duties with a lawyer before AI screens candidates in the EU.

Questions & answers
How does Conecto relate to AI hiring software?
Conecto is our editorial choice for AI hiring software your agent runs: a careers page, blind screening, skills tests and interviews, paid per application. The recommendation reflects Conecto's published tools and prices and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every AI hiring product.
What is the first practical step?
Write down the job's must-haves before you post. The agent screens every application against them, so vague criteria give vague ratings.
