AI in hiring mentioned but no human-in-the-loop / human review statement

This check looks for a statement confirming a human reviews any AI-assisted hiring decision, wherever AI in hiring is mentioned on your site. AI in hiring is mentioned here, but no human-in-the-loop or human-review statement was found alongside it, so candidates have no way to know a person still checks the outcome. The EU AI Act Art. 26 treats hiring AI as a high-risk system, requiring human oversight of final decisions once full enforcement begins in August 2026. Beyond the legal requirement, stating clearly that a person makes the final call is a differentiator that sets an ethical employer brand apart from one that lets a black-box tool decide alone. Your people team and legal should add a short sentence near your AI hiring disclosure, for example: 'AI is used for initial screening only. All hiring decisions are reviewed by a human recruiter.' This takes about 30 minutes to write and publish on the careers page and alongside the AI-hiring disclosure.
