EU AI Act & AI CV screening
How CVSense addresses EU AI Act obligations
Transparency by design
Every EBSV score comes with written reasoning and the CV evidence quoted back. Candidates can be told why they were scored as they were.
Human-in-the-loop
CVSense is a decision-support tool — recruiters retain the final shortlist decision, with the AI surfacing evidence to support it.
Audit log of scoring
Per-candidate scoring history is retained — meet the AI Act's record-keeping obligations.
Data governance
UK data residency, no training on candidate data, configurable retention, full DSAR support.
Risk management framework
CVSense follows a documented risk-management framework for our AI system, available to enterprise customers under NDA.
AI Ethical Policy (published)
Our public AI Ethical Policy sets out the principles that govern CVSense AI — bias mitigation, transparency, human oversight.
EU AI Act & AI CV screening — FAQs
Is AI CV screening 'high-risk' under the EU AI Act?+
Yes. Annex III of the EU AI Act classifies AI systems used in recruitment and selection of natural persons — including CV screening — as high-risk.
What does this mean for my company?+
If you are a deployer of an AI CV screening system that affects EU candidates, you have obligations around human oversight, transparency to candidates, data governance and incident logging — even if your supplier is responsible for technical conformity.
How does CVSense help with EU AI Act compliance?+
CVSense provides written, evidence-backed reasoning per CV (transparency), supports human-in-the-loop review (oversight), keeps a scoring audit log (record-keeping) and is governed by our published AI Ethical Policy.
Is CVSense a deployer or a provider under the AI Act?+
CVSense is a provider of an AI system. Your company, when using CVSense to screen candidates, is the deployer. We provide the documentation you need to meet your deployer obligations.
What about UK-only recruiters?+
If you only recruit candidates inside the UK, the EU AI Act may not apply — but the UK is actively shaping its own AI regulation. Building on a transparent, evidence-based, human-overseen approach now is the safest path.
