CalHire Compliance
Tracks EU AI Act, NYC Local Law 144 and UAE Emiratization obligations, and how they land on real hiring workflows.
Compliance & Fairness
Why this byline
- Reads the primary texts — Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, NYC Local Law 144 and its DCWP rules, the UAE PDPL and India’s DPDP Act — and cites them directly.
- Maps each obligation onto the hiring workflow it actually constrains, rather than summarising the statute.
- Publishes CalHire’s own bias-audit and adverse-impact position at /bias-audit, against the same standards.
