EU AI Act & Hiring Governance
The EU AI Act classifies hiring AI as high-risk under Annex III. Organisations operating in the EU face specific compliance obligations — transparency, human oversight, technical documentation, and ongoing monitoring.
Most TA functions are not ready. The EU AI Act requires organisations using AI in recruitment and employment decisions to maintain technical documentation, conduct conformity assessments, register in the EU database, and design genuine human oversight — not just a final approval click.
The obligation applies to the organisation deploying the AI, not just the vendor supplying it. That means your ATS vendor saying "we handle compliance" is not sufficient. You are the deployer. You are responsible.
SeasideHR designs EU AI Act compliance programmes for TA functions: inventory, gap analysis, governance framework design, documentation templates, and the human oversight processes that make compliance real — not just a policy document.
What we do
AI footprint inventory and risk classification
Map every AI feature active in your TA stack and classify each against the EU AI Act Annex III high-risk categories. Identify which tools trigger compliance obligations.
Conformity assessment preparation
Support the conformity assessment process for high-risk AI systems: technical documentation, fundamental rights impact assessment, and transparency requirements.
Human oversight process design
Design the specific processes that put meaningful human judgment in the loop — meeting the EU AI Act standard for human oversight, not just a checkbox.
Governance framework and documentation
Produce the governance policy, accountability structures, monitoring cadence, and post-market surveillance processes required for ongoing compliance.
