The Agentic Era Is Here.
Is Your HR Platform Ready?
By August 2026, AI in recruitment becomes "high-risk" under EU law. Every screening decision must be logged, explainable, and auditable. Most HR platforms weren't built for this. gscZelibri was.
"When regulators ask how your AI made that hiring decision, 'the algorithm did it' is no longer an acceptable answer."
The Compliance Crisis No One Is Talking About
Here's the uncomfortable truth: most HR platforms are about to become compliance liabilities.
The EU AI Act classifies recruitment AI as "high-risk." Starting August 2026, every AI-assisted hiring decision requires complete audit trails, mandatory human oversight, and candidate-facing explanations. Non-compliance penalties reach up to 7% of global revenue.
The platforms you rely on today—whether enterprise giants like Workday and SAP, or mid-market solutions like BambooHR and Personio—are scrambling to bolt on compliance features that should have been foundational. You're paying the price for their technical debt.
From Co-Pilot to Accountable Agent
The industry is moving beyond AI "co-pilots" that assist with tasks. We're entering the era of Agentic AI—systems that autonomously source candidates, screen applications, and schedule interviews.
The gscZelibri Difference
Unlike platforms retrofitting compliance, gscZelibri was architected from day one for the EU AI Act. Every agentic action is logged, explainable, and requires human approval for high-risk decisions.

Most platforms are rushing to add compliance features as afterthoughts. The result? Incomplete coverage, fragmented audit trails, and expensive consulting engagements to fill the gaps.
gscZelibri delivers 100% coverage across all EU AI Act requirements for HR—because compliance was the foundation, not a feature.

The Regulatory Risk Curve
Every month you wait, your regulatory exposure increases. By August 2026, organizations without compliant AI HR systems face potential enforcement actions, reputational damage, and penalties that could reach 7% of annual global turnover.
