⚖️ 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.

Who it is for

Recruitment teams and SME hiring managers processing 20–200 applications per cycle who need fast, bias-aware screening.

What customers tell us

  • Our team spends 15–20 hours weekly on initial CV triage, only to discover half the shortlist doesn't match our culture or role fit.
  • We struggle to justify our screening decisions to candidates and compliance teams without a documented, explainable framework.
  • Manual screening introduces unconscious bias; we need an auditable, repeatable method that protects both candidates and our hiring process.

What's inside

  • DISC-backed personality-to-role matching that flags cultural and behavioural fit alongside CV data
  • Automated GO/NO-GO verdicts within 48 hours, reducing manual triage from days to hours
  • EU AI Act Article 6 compliance logging—every decision is documented, explainable, and auditable
  • Structured feedback reports for rejected candidates, reducing legal exposure and improving employer brand
  • Integration-ready API and CSV upload for direct connection to your ATS or talent database

How we solve it

HumanBaseIQ Starter combines DISC psychometric profiling with intelligent CV parsing to move beyond keyword matching. Each application receives a transparent, bias-aware assessment aligned to your role blueprint. Every verdict is logged for compliance—no black-box decisions, no guesswork.

What you achieve in 30 days

Within 30 days, you'll process your backlog of 50–150 applications with documented, auditable verdicts and a shortlist filtered for both capability and cultural fit. Your first hire cycle will save 25–30 hours of manual review while building a compliant screening record.

How this product keeps improving

Our system learns from your hiring outcomes: as you report which screened candidates succeeded or failed in role, the DISC weighting refines to better predict fit for your specific team. Compliance audits inform algorithm updates, ensuring sustained alignment with evolving EU AI Act guidance.
