Hiring: AI Basic Act compliance & Korean LLM choice
If an LLM summarizes or screens applications, you need a record you can stand behind when a rejected candidate asks why. The documented rationale for your model choice is the first page of that record.
Why this sector is high-impact
Employment is named among high-impact fields because it directly affects livelihoods. Unlike most workloads, a hiring decision has a counterparty who is told the outcome and may ask for an explanation. Applications are sensitive personal data, so where they are processed is part of the same answer.
Key duties
- ✓Impact assessment for high-impact AI
- ✓Retain decision rationale and records (for explanation requests)
- ✓Define applicant-data processing, retention and cross-border scope
- ✓Check before and after whether the model disadvantages any group
✦ Model-choice angle
Sending applications straight to a global API pulls in cross-border and sub-processing review. Self-hostable commercial open weights (A.X 4.0) are easier to defend; EXAONE requires a commercial-license check first. How often summaries drop content or overstate on long, free-form Korean cover letters has to be re-measured on your own application samples, not taken from vendor figures.
