Recruiting that’s built compliant. Compliance you can buy on its own.

We run full-cycle AI recruiting with a human approving every hire — and we sell the compliance work standalone, for teams who just need NYC Local Law 144 and EU AI Act gaps closed, with or without us as your recruiter.

Why behavioural science

The tools get audited. The risk lives in how people use it.

Grounded in behavioural science, not checklist compliance

A bias audit checks the algorithm. It cannot check the recruiter who accepts the algorithm’s ranking 97% of the time without reading a single profile.

The EU AI Act names the failure mode directly: oversight must guard against automation bias, the documented human tendency to defer to machine output. Law firms handle the documents. We design the decision process: when humans review, what they see, what forces genuine judgment rather than rubber-stamping, and how override behaviour is measured over time.

That’s the difference between compliance you can file and compliance you can defend, and it’s also why this work pays for itself: a team that reviews AI output well simply makes better hires.

Straight answers

AI hiring compliance, in plain terms.

What is NYC Local Law 144?

NYC Local Law 144 is a New York City law regulating automated employment decision tools (AEDTs). Employers using an AEDT for NYC roles need an independent bias audit within the past year, a public summary of the audit results, and notice to candidates at least 10 business days before the tool is used. It has been enforced since July 5, 2023.

Does the EU AI Act apply to recruiting?

Yes. AI systems used to recruit or select candidates are classified as high-risk under Annex III of the EU AI Act. Employers deploying them must ensure competent human oversight, monitor and log operation, follow the provider's instructions, and inform workers, with high-risk obligations applying from December 2, 2026.

What counts as an automated employment decision tool (AEDT)?

An AEDT is a computational process, drawn from machine learning, statistical modeling, data analytics, or artificial intelligence, that substantially assists or replaces human decision-making in hiring or promotion. Resume screeners, candidate scoring, and ranking features inside your ATS commonly qualify.

How is a Compliance Score different from a bias audit?

A Compliance Score is a two-week gap assessment against both NYC Local Law 144 and the EU AI Act. A bias audit is one specific requirement inside that assessment — an independent statistical review of your hiring tool's outcomes across groups.

Are you a law firm?

No. We are a behavioural-science compliance consultancy. We build and run the operational side of compliance and work alongside your legal counsel, who remain your source of legal advice.
