Ongoing

governance system for continuous, auditable compliance

AdeptID is on a mission to get more people into better jobs, faster.

Its AI models career trajectories and past placement outcomes across hundreds of millions of job descriptions, resumes, and hiring decisions to predict candidate-job fit based on a holistic assessment of experience, skills, education, credentials, and more. The company is tackling biases in hiring and helping employers find overlooked talent.

As a provider of AI-powered candidate matching, AdeptID faces heightened regulatory expectations under the EU AI Act, which defines hiring tools as “high-risk.” The team partnered with Credo AI to accelerate compliance readiness and build a governance framework they could trust.

‍The challenge: leading and differentiating with AI trust in hiring

‍

Within the HR Tech space, AdeptID sees compliance as a differentiator instead of a requirement.

By embedding governance practices in its product development process, AdeptID can now provide procurement teams with transparent evidence of fairness, bias mitigation, and explainability, helping build trust in sales cycles and solidify compliance leadership.

When selecting a governance partner, Credo AI stood out to AdeptID for its enterprise-ready compliance frameworks. Credo AI’s out-of-the-box EU AI Act Policy Packs allowed AdeptID to complete required documentation and controls in record time:

OOTB Intake Questionnaire – mapped the Candidate Search & Match use case against EU AI Act requirements.
Policy Packs applied – covering high-risk system obligations, transparency requirements, and Annex IV technical documentation.
Conformity Assessment Document – created with Credo AI guidance.
Evidence review – Credo AI validated AdeptID’s compliance evidence and left actionable feedback.
Governance review & closure – AdeptID moved the use case into Governance and formally logged evidence for audit-readiness .

The result: AdeptID achieved fully compliance-readiness for its high-risk use case months ahead of anticipated timelines.

Preparing for the future of the EU AI Act

‍

Compliance readiness is not a one-time effort. AdeptID and Credo AI built a governance system designed for continuous improvement:

Compliance reports – exportable PDFs for external sharing, published to AdeptID’s trust center.
Future watch items – CE Marking, EU database registration, and harmonized standards (expected 2025–26) .

This forward-looking approach means AdeptID will remain ahead of evolving requirements while continuing to innovate on behalf of job seekers and employers.

“Working with the Credo AI platform accelerated our ability to be compliant with the EU AI Act by at least 10x the speed of trying to do it manually. When it comes to high-risk AI... using an AI governance platform like Credo AI is paramount."
