EU AIA Draft Guidelines on High-Risk: focus on Recruitment and HR

On 19 May 2026 the European Commission published draft guidelines on the classification of high-risk AI systems under the EU AI Act. In this webinar our Employment team we will focus on how the draft guidelines deal with the two categories of employment use cases classified as high-risk under the Act:

• AI systems intended to be used for the recruitment or selection of natural persons, in particular to place targeted job advertisements, to analyse and filter job applications, and to evaluate candidates;
• AI systems intended to be used to make decisions affecting terms of work-related relationships, the promotion or termination of work-related contractual relationships, to allocate tasks based on individual behaviour or personal traits or characteristics or to monitor and evaluate the performance and behaviour of persons in such relationships.

This 30-minute session will focus on the practical implications of the guidelines for organisations using AI tools in recruitment and HR.

Speakers:

• Lauren Dickinson
• Julia Gori
