HumanBaseIQ Starter — AI Recruitment & Assessment
DISC-powered CV screening that delivers GO/NO-GO verdicts in 48 hours—EU AI Act compliant, zero manual triage.
⚖️ EU AI ACT — HIGH-RISK AI SYSTEM (EMPLOYMENT & HR)
Under the EU AI Act (Article 6, Annex III area 4), AI systems used in recruitment, candidate screening, and workforce analytics are classified as high-risk. Compliance deadline: December 2027 (pending formal adoption under the EU Digital Omnibus). Requirements include bias auditing, transparency obligations, human oversight, and technical documentation. Maximum fine: Maximum fine for non-compliance: €15M or 3% of global turnover (Annex III high-risk, Article 99(4) EU AI Act 2024/1689 — see eur-lex.europa.eu). Article 5 prohibited practices carry the higher €35M / 7% penalty but do not apply to this product class.. This product includes EU AI Act compliance features: bias detection, explainability reports, and audit trails.
⚠️ EU AI ACT HIGH-RISK (ANNEX III) — FULLY COMPLIANT BY DESIGN
AI systems used in recruitment and employee assessment are classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act Annex III — carrying strict obligations for transparency, human oversight, and audit logging. HumanBaseIQ is built compliant from the ground up: Article 13 transparency notices, Article 14 human oversight at every decision point, Article 22 full audit logging, and GDPR Article 22 automated decision safeguards. AI recommends. Humans decide. Always.
CV to Board-Ready Candidate Report in 48 Hours — Not 3 Weeks
Most hiring processes take 3–6 weeks and cost £3,000–8,000 per hire in recruiter fees alone. HumanBaseIQ compresses the screening, assessment, and reporting cycle to 48 hours — producing a more detailed candidate report than most executive search firms deliver. No separate ATS subscription, no psychometric testing platform, no interview scheduling software required.
- Anonymised CV Parsing: Structured skill, experience, and qualification extraction with bias-prevention — no name, gender, age, or ethnicity inference at initial screening stage
- Professional Footprint Check: LinkedIn consistency, published content, company directorships — factual verification, no speculation
- DISC Character Profile: Inferred from CV language patterns and interview responses — primary profile, communication preferences, leadership style, and team fit indicators
- 20-Question AI Interview: Role-specific, seniority-calibrated questions across Competency, Situational, Behavioural, and Technical dimensions
- Board-Ready Assessment Report: GO / CONDITIONAL GO / NO-GO recommendation with documented evidence trail — ready for hiring manager, board, or executive committee review
- Employee Assessment Module: Existing staff performance, competency, leadership potential, and culture fit evaluations — on demand, any time
- 9 Languages: EN, TR, DE, FR, ES, NL, PL, IT, PT — assess international candidates in their native language with no quality loss
- GDPR / KVKK / EU AI Act Compliant: AES-256-GCM PII encryption, data minimisation, right to erasure, consent logging, retention limits, and human review mandatory at every GO decision
💷 THE MATHS
£99/month. Executive recruiter: £8,000–25,000 per placement. POWACA/DISC assessment consultant: £500–1,000 per candidate. HumanBaseIQ at 10 candidates/month: under £10 per full assessment report. Wrong hire cost for a mid-level role: typically 30–150% of annual salary. One avoided wrong hire pays for years of HumanBaseIQ.
