Compliance Note — Important for Recruiting Agencies
Compliance Built In
AI hiring is heavily regulated. NYC Local Law 144 requires bias audits. EU AI Act classifies recruiting AI as high-risk with full requirements phasing in by 2026-2027. Illinois and Maryland require candidate disclosure when AI is used. We design every recruiting system with compliance documentation from day one — bias audits, candidate notification workflows, and audit logs ready for regulators.
