The "matching" between job descriptions and CVs takes a technological step forward thanks to Generative AI.

These agents telephone candidates directly to verify factual data or assess motivation via role-playing scenarios.

The IA Act regulation, scheduled to come into full force in August 2026, will impose full transparency and mandatory human supervision. The issue is crucial: to prevent algorithmic bias from unfairly rejecting qualified profiles based on opaque criteria.
