The brands you know recruit with JobAffinity


Our stance
Automatically rejecting an application based on an AI score has been banned in Europe since 2018 (GDPR Article 22). The Court of Justice of the EU confirmed it in December 2023 (SCHUFA ruling, C-634/21).
From 2 December 2027, the AI Act adds penalties of up to €35M or 7% of global revenue for AI uses in recruitment classified as "high risk" without effective human oversight.
At JobAffinity, AI saves you time without dehumanising your work.
AI features
Real-world uses that save recruiters time, without ever taking away the final decision.
One click from your job ad.
JobAffinity AI gives you a score out of 100, lists what works and what is hurting your applications (vague title, fuzzy wording, missing salary) with a suggested fix for each point.
Ce qui fonctionne
Problèmes détectés
Sovereignty
A CV is sensitive personal data. The real question is not "is it hosted in Europe?" but "who can legally access it?"
Your data on Scaleway. The same infrastructure as the DINUM, the Sorbonne and several ministries. HDS datacenters, SecNumCloud in progress.
Our AI runs on our own servers in France. No OpenAI, no US LLM. Your CVs are never sent to a third party.
Capital, hosting, teams: everything is French. No foreign authority can demand access to your candidate data.
Native GDPR compliance. A data protection officer declared to the CNIL oversees governance.
It is a 2018 US law that lets US authorities demand access to data held by a company under US law, even when that data is hosted in Europe.
As soon as one part of your recruitment goes through a US player (a US ATS, or an AI such as GPT or Gemini), your candidate CVs are exposed to it. Without you or your candidates being informed.
The real question to ask your current ATS: Where is my data, and which model does my AI run on?
Comparison
Not all AIs are equal. The difference comes down to three criteria: where your data is, who can access it, and who decides in the end.

To understand
The term "recruitment agent" today refers to two things: the human recruiter (agency, in-house HR) and the AI agent that automatically performs certain recruiter tasks. Not to be confused with a chatbot, which merely replies.
Write a job ad, source, sort CVs, pre-qualify, schedule interviews, summarise. That is exactly what JobAffinity AI does.
Automatically rejecting a candidate on an AI score, deciding a hire alone, preventing a real human review of the file.
Recruitment is classified as "high risk" by the AI Act (EU Regulation 2024/1689). GDPR Article 22 has, since 2018, banned any solely automated decision affecting a candidate. The SCHUFA case law (CJEU, 7 December 2023) confirmed that human oversight must be effective. At JobAffinity, AI is an AI-assisted recruitment agent: it automates repetitive tasks, makes recommendations, and the recruiter keeps the final decision. Every action is logged for compliance.
Sovereignty, compliance, uses: the essentials before you start.
No. It is an assistant, not a replacement. It automates repetitive tasks (initial sorting, data extraction, report generation) to free up your time for what really matters: talking to candidates, running interviews.
No. Your data stays strictly confidential and is never used to train our models. It does not leave our servers in France.
Yes. It is designed to respect GDPR Article 22 (no automated decision affecting a candidate without effective human intervention) and the human oversight required by the AI Act (EU Regulation 2024/1689) from 2 December 2027.
A decision by the Court of Justice of the EU on 7 December 2023 (case C-634/21) that tightens GDPR Article 22. A human who formally validates an algorithmic decision without exercising real judgement is not enough. At JobAffinity, human oversight is effective by design: you can ignore, edit or challenge every AI suggestion.
In France, on the Scaleway infrastructure. Our AI runs on our own servers. No calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or any other US LLM provider. No CV leaves the country.
No. This is banned by GDPR Article 22 since 2018, and the SCHUFA case law confirmed it. It proposes a relevance order and suggestions, but you always decide.
Yes. It is optional and configurable. You keep full control over when and how AI steps into your processes.
