AI in HR without the GDPR landmines.
HR is the highest-density high-risk AI domain in Europe. There is no shortcut. We build it correctly.
HR runs more EU-AI-Act high-risk use cases than any other function, on the most sensitive personal data there is. Three moves:
The moment a real candidate or employee is in the data, the model runs sovereign, on EU compute a DPO can defend.
Annex III obligations built in from day one: testing, human oversight, worker information rights, works-council-ready logs.
Structured work automated, judgement work amplified, and the transition managed as reskilling, not as an HR event.
Job architectures, policy drafts, and public labour-market research to the frontier.
Reviewed by humans, applied inside the perimeter, never trained on your people.
You capture the productivity without inheriting the liability, in Europe's most regulated AI domain.
The disruption is not theoretical. Named, current evidence, cited, not claimed.
Workday's HiredScore-powered Recruiting Agent helped AdventHealth cut roughly $68M in agency spend and double the requisitions recruiters close in 90 days.
Workday →SAP SuccessFactors is shipping “Joule Agents” that reason and act on behalf of HR users; Workday calls its layer an “Agent System of Record.”
SAP →The EU AI Act (Annex III) classifies recruitment and worker-management AI as high-risk, with obligations from 2 Aug 2026, whether built in-house or procured.
EU AI Act →From résumé screening to people analytics, HR is the function with the highest concentration of high-risk AI under the EU AI Act. We design HR AI stacks that are auditable, bias-tested, and run on infrastructure your DPO can defend.
A function-by-function map of which AI use cases are prohibited, high-risk, or limited-risk under the Act, and the exact governance, documentation, and human-oversight controls needed for each.
Which HR roles are augmented, which are automated, and which become strategic, a modelled map of where the work moves through 2026, with a reskilling roadmap.
In one 90-minute working session we map it across the frontier-sovereign axis, cost, risk, and strategic value. Then we tell you what we'd do.
