117 days until EU AI Act high-risk hiring rules take effect

Your ATS is about to become high-risk under EU law.

From 2 August 2026, any AI used in recruitment is classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act. Fines up to €35M or 7% of global turnover. We sell the exact templates your DPO, legal, and HR need — built by the team behind hirecheck.eu, the candidate-facing Article 22 tool.

The compliance checklist nobody sent you

If your hiring pipeline touches any of these, you need documentation — in writing, on file, ready for the regulator.

Automated CV parsing or keyword matching
AI-assisted candidate ranking or scoring
Automated rejection emails based on ATS criteria
AI-written job descriptions or outreach
Video interview analysis (tone, sentiment, body language)
Plagiarism or AI-content detection on applications

All of the above are now in scope. The law does not care whether you built it or bought it from Workday.

Not legal advice. Templates are drafted against current EU guidance and the AI Act final text, and reviewed against GDPR. You should have your own counsel or DPO adapt them to your specific processing operations before relying on them.

Why buy from us

We run the candidate-side tool

hirecheck.eu is where EU candidates generate Article 22 human-review letters. We see the exact wording of the demands your team is about to receive. Our templates are tuned to the incoming letters, not to theoretical risk.

Built for EU reality, not US theatre

Most "AI Act compliance packs" on the market are repackaged NIST AI RMF documents with a European flag stamped on top. Ours cite Article numbers, recitals, and national supervisory authority guidance you can show a regulator.

Updated through August 2026

Buy once. Every delegated act, every EDPB opinion, every national DPA guidance change between now and the high-risk deadline is pushed to you for free.

Don't be the case study.

One Article 22 letter goes viral on LinkedIn every week now. The next one could be about your company. Ship the documentation before you have to defend it.
