AI background checks producing applicant risk scores

The system aggregates official records, employment history, social network history and, where legally permissible, financial data, plus open-source information, and returns composite risk scores or categories such as low, medium and high risk with alerts such as unexplained employment gaps. In high-volume hiring, candidates flagged as high risk are deprioritised before a caseworker reviews the file.

The official source remains authoritative. This is general information about obligations and not legal advice. See this object on the map

What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

What this object states

Official fact

Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.

The Commission draft guidelines of 19 May 2026 address this case when determining whether an application falls under Annex III. The document is a consultation version: non-binding and not yet final.

Our interpretation

Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.

Background checking with composite risk scores is profiling, and that rules out every exemption, even where you have formally built a human review into the process.
