Hiring Due Diligence

Hiring due diligence refers to the pre-employment checks and vetting steps an organization runs on candidates, including the use of AI tools that screen résumés, score interviews, or rank applicants. For governance teams, this area matters because automated hiring tools can introduce discrimination risk, trigger obligations under laws such as New York City's Local Law 144 on automated employment decision tools, and create records that regulators or plaintiffs may later request. Coverage under this tag tracks how legal, HR, and compliance leaders are documenting, auditing, and disclosing their use of AI in candidate evaluation.
