The EU AI Act is here, and recruitment sits squarely in its high-risk category.

AI used to source, screen, shortlist or rank candidates falls within Annex III, which means recruiters and recruitment businesses need to understand where AI is being used, what regulators consider high-risk, and how to avoid costly mistakes when adopting new tools.

Join Mary Seery Kearney(Barrister-at-Law/HR Brief Limited ), together with Michael Lantry (CEO, Gempool Recruitment) and Sandra Quinn (Founder, Quinn & Associates), on August 20th for a practical discussion on the everyday realities of AI in recruitment. Mike McDonagh (COO, Sigmar) will moderate the session.
