California's New AI Hiring Mandate: Navigating the Toughest Rules Yet
Starting October 1, 2025, California will have the strictest rules in the U.S. for using AI in hiring and promotions. Employers must tell job seekers when they use AI tools, check every year that these tools are fair to everyone, and keep all records for four years. All kinds of hiring software, from resume screeners to chatbots, are included. Both companies and AI vendors can be fined big money if they break these rules, so getting ready early is very important.
