Custom AI recruitment tools that screen CVs, match and shortlist candidates and automate sourcing — engineered for the EU AI Act, because hiring AI is high-risk. Not a black-box SaaS: you own the code.
Last updated: 11 June 2026
AI for recruitment automates CV screening, candidate matching, sourcing and interview scheduling so recruiters spend time on people, not paperwork. Crux Digits builds it custom and EU AI Act-compliant, with bias controls and human oversight baked in. Fixed prices: a €2.500 audit, a €20.000 proof of concept, production from €50.000.
Recruitment is full of repetitive, high-volume work that AI handles well — while a human stays in charge of every hiring decision. We map your agency or in-house talent process, then automate the tasks that drain your recruiters' hours, from first CV to signed offer.
This is the part most vendors skip. Under the EU AI Act, AI used to screen, filter or rank candidates for jobs is classified high-risk. That brings real obligations: bias and non-discrimination controls, transparency about how the system decides, logging, data governance and meaningful human oversight — a person, not the model, makes the hiring call. A black-box CV-screening SaaS gives you none of that visibility, yet you carry the liability. We build the opposite: custom systems where the matching logic is auditable, bias is tested and documented, and a recruiter reviews and can override every recommendation. You own the code and the audit trail — so you can prove compliance, not just claim it.
A quick view of how the everyday work maps to what the AI does and what your team gets back.
| Recruiting task | What the AI does | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Screening inbound CVs | Parses and ranks applicants against the role, with visible reasoning | Hours of manual screening cut to minutes; every candidate assessed consistently |
| Building a shortlist | Matches vacancy to your ATS and candidate database | Recruiters open a ranked shortlist instead of searching |
| Sourcing passive talent | Finds, enriches and deduplicates profiles, drafts outreach | More qualified pipeline without more manual sourcing |
| Interview coordination | Proposes slots and drafts summaries and feedback notes | Less admin, faster time-to-interview, a human still decides |
No open-ended day rates. Three fixed steps: a €2.500 AI audit to find the highest-value recruitment use case and confirm it can be built compliantly; a €20.000 proof of concept on your real vacancies and data; and production from €50.000 for the live, EU AI Act-ready system your team runs every day.
We work in three de-risked stages so you see value before committing to a build. Stage one is the audit (€2.500): we review your recruiting workflow, data and volumes and pick the use case with the best return. Stage two is the proof of concept (€20.000): a working model on your own CVs and vacancies, with bias testing and human-oversight design from day one. Stage three is production (from €50.000): we build, integrate with your ATS, and hand over documented, compliant code you own — no lock-in. Book the AI implementation conversation to start.
Fixed prices, no surprises: a €2.500 audit to pin down the best use case, a €20.000 proof of concept on your own data, and production from €50.000 for the live system. You own the resulting code outright.
Yes, when built correctly. AI that screens or ranks candidates is high-risk under the EU AI Act, so it must have bias controls, transparency, logging and human oversight. We engineer those in and hand you the audit trail, so a recruiter — not the model — makes every hiring decision.
We test the model for discriminatory patterns, keep the matching logic auditable rather than black-box, document how it decides, and keep a human reviewing and able to override every shortlist. Bias controls are part of the build, not an afterthought.
You own it. Unlike a black-box recruitment SaaS, Crux Digits builds custom AI and hands over the code, so there is no per-seat lock-in and you control the system, the data and the compliance evidence.
Yes. We build around your current ATS and candidate database rather than replacing them, so CV screening, matching and sourcing plug into the tools your recruiters already use.
Start with a €2.500 audit: we find the highest-value use case for your team and confirm it can be built to the EU AI Act. Custom, compliant, and yours to own.
