Leading Ethical Recruitment
How we're proactively aligning with the EU AI Act to ensure fairness, transparency, and human oversight in the hiring process.
At TalentHunter.me, we believe the future of talent acquisition lies at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and human intuition. As the European AI Act begins to reshape the landscape of digital tools, we are proud to announce our commitment to the AI Pact—a proactive initiative led by the European AI Office to foster the development of "Trustworthy AI."
Because recruitment and HR tools are often classified as "high-risk" under the upcoming EU regulations, we are taking steps now to ensure our platform remains a leader in ethical, transparent, and fair hiring.
Foundational steps in our AI governance strategy
By joining the AI Pact, we have pledged to prioritise the following foundational steps in our AI governance strategy:
We have adopted a robust internal strategy to ensure our AI tools are developed and deployed in full alignment with future EU standards and data protection laws.
We are actively auditing our systems to identify and manage features—such as automated candidate ranking or CV screening—that fall under the "high-risk" category of the AI Act.
We are committed to upskilling our staff and users. By improving AI literacy, we ensure everyone understands the "how" and "why" behind our AI outputs, fostering responsible use of technology.
Additional safeguards that set a new benchmark for HR tech
For us, regulatory compliance is just the starting point. To protect both our clients and candidates, we are implementing additional safeguards that set a new benchmark for HR tech:
We are constantly refining our machine learning models to ensure the datasets used for training are of the highest quality. Our goal is to eliminate algorithmic bias and promote a truly level playing field for every applicant, regardless of background.
Honesty is at the heart of our recruitment software. We believe candidates have a right to know when they are interacting with an AI system. We are implementing clear labelling and notifications so the hiring journey remains open and transparent.
AI should assist humans, not replace them. We are building concrete measures to ensure that a human recruiter always has the final say and oversight over any decision recommended by our systems.
If an AI system recommends a decision that significantly impacts a candidate's journey, we aim to provide clear, meaningful explanations. No candidate should ever be left in the dark about how a decision was reached.
The AI Pact is a voluntary, flexible framework that allows frontrunner organisations like TalentHunter.me to lead by example. By participating in workshops and dialogues with the European Commission, we are helping to shape the best practices that will define the next decade of recruitment technology.
At TalentHunter.me, we aren't just finding talent—we're protecting the integrity of the search.
