Coverage in the included Oracle HCM catalogue

  • Entries in this catalogue are concentrated in recruitment, HR service, pay and learning; fewer included entries appear for onboarding, wellbeing and leaving.
  • None of the uses included here is rated Avoid in this guide. That is not a compliance assessment of Oracle's products or your organisation's use.
  • Among the higher-risk agent entries listed here, ratings cluster in recruitment and performance, the two areas the EU AI Act names first, plus three in pay.
  • Most included agents are rated Take care because they read or change personal data. The control that matters most is who can see what.

2. Recruitment

Job requisition and posting agent · Lower risk · 26A · It drafts requisitions and posting descriptions about a job, not a person, and a recruiter reviews them.

Sourcing agents (campaigns, pools, outreach) · Higher risk · 26B · Finding candidates and building pools filters who gets considered, a high-risk use under the EU AI Act.
