Impactful Policy Frameworks
AI in Hiring Regulations (various states/cities, e.g., NYC Local Law 144 of 2023)
Some jurisdictions, like New York City, have introduced laws regulating the use of automated employment decision tools (AEDTs), requiring bias audits and transparency with job applicants.
This impacts how recruitment firms, including Pursuit Sales Solutions, can leverage AI tools for candidate screening and assessment, necessitating compliance with bias audits and disclosure requirements.
Pay Transparency Laws (various states, e.g., Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act of 2021, New York State Pay Transparency Law of 2022)
An increasing number of states and cities require employers to disclose salary ranges in job postings, aiming to promote pay equity and transparency.
Recruitment firms must ensure clients comply with these disclosure requirements, potentially influencing how job opportunities are marketed and discussed with candidates.
NLRB Joint Employer Standard (National Labor Relations Board, 2023)
The NLRB's new rule expands the definition of 'joint employer,' making companies that contract for labor (like staffing firms) potentially liable for unfair labor practices by their contractors if they exert control over essential employment terms.
While primarily impacting temporary staffing, this could indirectly affect recruitment firms like Pursuit by increasing scrutiny on how they interact with clients regarding candidate terms and conditions, and potentially requiring clearer contractual agreements.
