AI Recruiting & Screening for SMBs

For EU small and medium businesses, an AI recruiting service you pay for per job, built to follow the rules, works better than selling them yearly applicant tracking software.

Here's the clear way in: small and medium EU companies want someone to just do their AI hiring for them. Services are the fastest-growing part of this market, and screening candidates is what people use it for most. Three things push it: EU rules are getting stricter, small teams hate hiring, and people are open to using AI in HR.

This isn't about building a smarter model. It's about wrapping sourcing, screening, human review, and compliance with the EU AI Act and GDPR into one service priced per job. A founder with no recruiter can buy it once, use it right away, and stop when the role is filled.

This fits best for EU small businesses that only hire now and then, especially teams sick of paying for ATS software all year and unsure about the rules. The main risk is running it: if it isn't fast, trusted, and clearly compliant, it just looks like an agency with AI slapped on the name.

• Services are growing faster than anything else here.
• Screening candidates is the biggest chunk of the AI recruitment market.
• Because of the EU AI Act's rules on hiring, being compliant is now a reason people buy, not a bonus feature.
• Paying per job matches small teams that only hire a few people a year.
