    Tre numeri che ogni responsabile HR in Europa dovrebbe conoscere

    41%

    delle aziende che usano IA nelle assunzioni non è conforme all'AI Act dell'UE — sanzioni fino a 35 milioni di euro da agosto 2026.

    51.000 €

    è il costo medio di un singolo cattivo inserimento a livello manageriale — un rischio che lo screening strutturato con IA può quasi dimezzare.

    67%

    dei team HR europei sta valutando di cambiare ATS — soprattutto per scarsa esperienza candidato e lacune di conformità.
