# EU AI Act compliance

> Why Staffer is built as a high-risk AI system under the EU AI Act, and what that means in practice.

Using AI to make or influence employment decisions is classified as high-risk under the EU AI Act. Staffer is built around that classification rather than adding compliance on afterward.

## What that looks like in the product

Every match score decomposes into its criteria rather than arriving as an unexplained number. Every AI action that changes a candidate's outcome waits for a person to approve it. Every state change is logged. Candidates are told, at the moment it matters, when AI is involved in a decision about them.

## Where to read the detail

The full mapping from Staffer's architecture to the Act's specific obligations lives in your compliance settings, kept current as the product changes rather than written once and left to drift.
