HR services and staffing

Recruiters, staffing agencies and HR departments use AI to screen resumes, interview, evaluate and decide promotions or terminations. It is the most regulated AI use case: high-risk in the EU and Peru, bias audits in New York City, notices in Illinois, anti-discrimination rules in California and worker information duties in Spain.

Relevant sector rules

EU: hiring, evaluation, promotion, termination, task allocation and performance monitoring are high-risk from Dec 2, 2027, and emotion recognition at work has been banned since Feb 2, 2025. Spain: Article 64.4.d of the Workers' Statute requires informing worker representatives about algorithms affecting employment; Royal Decree 723/2026 requires written notice to each worker from Oct 5, 2026; the AEPD warned in October 2026 that human oversight must also cover rejected candidates. Peru: employment decisions are high-risk, with a labor-sector deadline of Sep 10, 2027. Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil: rights regarding automated decisions under data protection laws (Chile from Dec 1, 2026). Mexico: only digital platforms have labor rules on algorithms. US: Title VII still applies to AI hiring tools; NYC Local Law 144 requires an annual independent bias audit and candidate notice; Illinois requires notice from Jan 1, 2026; California FEHA regulations (from Oct 1, 2025) require keeping records for 4 years; Colorado and California's ADMT rules apply from Jan 1, 2027.
