Built for the Regulatory Moment
AI in Hiring Is Exploding. Regulation Is Catching Up.
Over 75% of large UK employers now use some form of AI in recruitment — from CV screening to automated assessments. But five regulatory frameworks are converging. UK GDPR (Articles 13–15, 22) requires transparency for automated decisions. The Equality Act 2010 (Sections 13, 19) creates strict liability for discriminatory outcomes. The Data Use and Access Act 2025 mandates contestability for automated decision-making. The ICO's AI & Biometrics Strategy has launched active audits of recruitment AI. And the EU AI Act classifies recruitment AI as ‘high-risk’ under Annex III, Category 4a — with enforcement beginning August 2026. Most employers have no compliance evidence for any of it.
TraceAI makes AI accountability the default — not an afterthought. We build the infrastructure so compliance teams can prove what happened, when, and why.
We designed TraceAI alongside recruitment compliance professionals. Every feature exists because someone in the industry told us they needed it.
