AI in hiring and employment: the rules that apply

Hiring and employment is the use case regulated most often and most specifically: bias audits, notices to candidates, impact assessments, human review of decisions and record keeping appear in city, state, national and supranational rules. An organisation that uses AI anywhere in the employee lifecycle is a deployer in most of them.

What the rules have in common

Tell the candidate, test for disparate impact, keep a human able to change the outcome, and keep the records that show you did. The wording differs; the controls do not, which is why one bias-testing control below serves duties in several jurisdictions.

Where they differ

Who must run the audit, how often, whether it is published, and whether a candidate can opt out or request an alternative process. Those details are on each duty page with the article cited.

Which controls meet these duties?

Sorted by how many of the duties on this page each control satisfies, so the ones worth building first are at the top. A control page lists every other duty it serves, in every jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions

Does using an off-the-shelf screening tool make my company responsible?
In most instruments yes: the employer is the deployer and carries the notice, oversight and record-keeping duties, whatever the vendor promised. Some rules place the audit duty on the vendor, others on the employer.
What evidence do these duties produce?
A bias or impact assessment, the notice text shown to candidates, the human-review procedure, the system register entry and the decision logs. The controls below list each one.
