AEAnthony W. Eckert

Key Points

  • To explore the opacities within algorithmic hiring processes and their implications on transparency and fairness.
  • Applied the Void Framework to evaluate algorithmic hiring systems.
  • Assessed candidates' and employer criteria's opacity in various platforms.
  • Evaluated HireVue, Pymetrics, and ATS systems for compliance with EU regulations.
  • Identified significant opacity in candidate evaluation criteria.
  • Scored various HR technologies on levels of transparency and fairness.
  • Highlighted the implications of the EU AI Act for algorithmic hiring practices.

Abstract

Applies the Void Framework to algorithmic hiring and HR technology. Compound void: candidate opacity, algorithmic model opacity, employer criteria opacity. HireVue, Pymetrics, and ATS systems scored. EU AI Act Annex III §4 HIGH-RISK classification — enforcement 2 August 2026.
