Can I use AI for hiring?
You can use ordinary writing tools to draft a job ad. Tools that analyse, filter or score candidates sit on the high-risk list in Annex III, with extra duties on a later timetable. Emotion recognition at work is in the banned list now — do not use it on applicants or staff.

You can use ordinary writing tools to draft a job ad. Tools that analyse, filter or score candidates sit on the high-risk list in Annex III, with extra duties on a later timetable (2 December 2027 after the Digital Omnibus). That delay is extra time, not a free-for-all.
Emotion recognition at work is in the banned list now — do not use it on applicants or staff. Drafting a vacancy in ChatGPT and then reading CVs yourself is not the same as an AI that filters or ranks applicants.

What the law actually says
"AI systems intended to be used for recruitment or selection of natural persons, notably to place targeted job advertisements, to analyse and filter job applications, and to evaluate candidates;"— EU AI Act, Annex III, point 4(a) (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) · eur-lex.europa.eu
In plain words
- Annex III point 4 covers recruitment and selection tools. Those are high-risk systems, not banned systems.
- The Digital Omnibus on AI put the extra Chapter III high-risk duties for Annex III uses back to 2 December 2027. That delay is extra time, not a free-for-all.
- Article 5(1)(f) already bans inferring emotions in the workplace, with a narrow medical/safety exception. Scoring a candidate’s “mood” from a video is the kind of use to avoid.
- Drafting a vacancy in ChatGPT and then reading CVs yourself is not the same as an AI that filters or ranks applicants.
- Scans your computer and lists every AI tool your business actually uses.
- Checks your settings files for the transparency basics and produces a plain-language readiness report.
- Runs in your browser, free, nothing uploaded.
- Every month: re-scan, and the report can be updated each month — "what changed since last check" is written for you.
- Your records build into a printable readiness pack: tool inventory, training journal, disclosure checklist.
- Keeps the dated history an inspector would ask to see.
