The Swiss data protection act requires information and, on request, a human review for decisions that are made solely by automated means and have a significant effect. Companies recruiting in the EU also fall under the European AI regulation.
We recommend an approved solution with clear roles: the software organises and suggests, while a person decides on every rejection. Applicants are informed openly.
