Impactful Policy Frameworks
New York City's Local Law 144 (2023)
This law, effective July 5, 2023, regulates the use of automated employment decision tools (AEDTs) by employers and employment agencies in New York City, requiring bias audits and public disclosure.
College Recruiter, operating in the US market, will need to ensure any AI-driven matching or screening tools they or their clients use within NYC comply with bias auditing and transparency requirements, potentially affecting their technology development and client advisory services.
Illinois Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act (2020)
This act requires employers to obtain consent from job applicants before using artificial intelligence to analyze video interviews and to disclose to applicants how the AI works and what characteristics it assesses.
While specifically for video interviews, this sets a precedent for AI transparency and consent that could influence how College Recruiter advises clients on broader AI adoption or if they integrate video tools, emphasizing the need for clear communication and consent from their 20M+ candidates.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) (2020/2023)
The CCPA grants California consumers new rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale of their data, with CPRA expanding these rights and creating a new enforcement agency.
College Recruiter, with its extensive database of 20M+ opt-in candidates, must ensure robust data privacy frameworks are in place to comply with CCPA/CPRA, particularly regarding data collection, storage, and the targeted email campaigns, to avoid legal repercussions and maintain user trust.
