AI or automated hiring tools mentioned but no transparency disclosure

This check looks for a disclosure statement wherever you mention using AI or automated tools in hiring, such as resume screening or video-interview analysis software. No such disclosure was found on this site, even though AI or automated hiring tools are mentioned.

Why this matters

If you hire in New York City, the Automated Employment Decision Tools law (Local Law 144, enforced from 2023) requires bias audits and notice to candidates, and penalties can apply per violation. The EU AI Act classifies some hiring AI as high-risk with transparency duties if you use it for EU candidates. Whether either applies depends on where you hire and how the tool is used, so check with a legal adviser. Candidates who discover undisclosed AI screening later may also trust the process less.

How to fix it

Your privacy lawyer and people team should add a 'How we use AI in hiring' section to your careers page: name the tools you use, explain any bias audit performed on them, and link to candidate rights. Budget around a week to draft, get legal sign-off, and publish it.
