🚨 UK JOBS ALERT - GOOD NEWS AT LAST! ✅ Placements fall at weaker pace ✅ Pay rates increased to attract candidates ✅ Candidate availability growth hits five-month high Neil Carberry, REC Chief Executive, said: “The critical moment in any labour market slowdown is the point at which demand starts to turn around. "Today’s hiring data suggests that point is close, with fewer recruitment firms reporting a drop in demand. While the trend is still gently down, the pace of decline in permanent hiring is the slowest in ten months. "Temporary hiring, which has had much less of a decline overall, also scored better than last month. Firms have told us all year that they will be willing to hire and invest in their business when confidence returns to the wider economy – and there is a glimmer of lower inflation and the prospect of lower interest rates starting to drive that now. “Pay continues to rise, with a slight bump up this month likely to have been driven by the April peak in employer pay rises and the recent Minimum Wage rise. "With substantial wage rises attracting people to work, and low unemployment, businesses and government alike will need new approaches to developing and engaging our labour force – alongside new technology – if the UK is going to grow in the way it needs to. “Our flexible labour market is at the heart of this. It is one of the big success stories of the UK economy, with millions of workers and companies building their futures in ways that would not be possible in the one-size-fits-all approach of the past. It’s why, for instance, nurses choose to work via agencies so they can get control over their working lives. "Any government needs to work hard to understand what workers and companies need now – a more nuanced debate than is often centre stage in Whitehall and Westminster. A partnership approach with businesses is essential.”

In my post today, we're looking at a shift in the world of recruitment. Last week, the European Union published the Artificial Intelligence Act in the Official Journal of the European Union, and it's set to rewrite the rulebook for how businesses use AI. But what does this mean for recruiters and employers? Let's break it down into bite size chunks. First, let's be clear: this isn't some obscure tech regulation. It's a sweeping law that will affect any company using AI in the EU, including those in recruitment and HR. If you're using AI to sift through CVs or conduct video interviews, you need to sit up and take notice. The Act takes a risk-based approach, categorising AI systems based on their potential impact. Many recruitment tools could (more than likely) be classed as 'high-risk' because they influence people's job prospects and, by extension, their livelihoods. This classification brings with it stringent requirements. For recruiters and employers, the implications are significant. You'll need to ensure your AI tools meet new standards for fairness and transparency. Can you explain how your AI makes decisions? You'll need to. Are you certain it's not discriminating against candidates? You'll have to prove it. The Act also raises the stakes on data protection. If you're handling candidate data, the rules are about to get tighter. And if you're using AI to make hiring decisions, you might need to introduce human oversight. The penalties for getting this wrong are severe. Fines could reach €30 million or 6% of global turnover, whichever is higher. It's a figure that should make any business pause for thought, as they did with the introduction of GDPR. But it's not all doom and gloom. The Act includes measures to support innovation, particularly for smaller businesses. Companies that adapt quickly could gain a competitive edge, positioning themselves as trustworthy and ethical in an increasingly AI-driven job market. So, what's the bottom line? If you're in recruitment or HR and you're using AI, you need to act now. Review your tools, understand the new rules, and start planning for compliance. This isn't just about ticking regulatory boxes; it's about maintaining trust with candidates and employees in a world where AI is increasingly making decisions that affect people's lives. The question is: are you ready for it? As we've seen, the timeline for implementation is staggered. Within six months, prohibitions on high-risk practices will be enforced. By the one-year mark, we'll see the appointment of oversight authorities. And within two years, stringent obligations for high-risk AI systems will come into play. That’s my look at the EU AI Act and its implications for recruitment. The clock is ticking. It's time for recruiters and employers to prepare for a new era of AI regulation.
