Episode Details

The compliance clock is ticking. Colorado's AI hiring law takes effect June 30, 2026 — and 78% of companies using AI screening tools can't produce the documentation regulators want. In this episode, we break down what the new rules mean, why unstructured phone screens are now a liability, and how OVI's Milo agent turns every audio screening into an audit-ready record. We cover the three overlapping regulations reshaping AI hiring in 2026: the EEOC's new algorithm auditing requirements, Colorado SB 24-205's mandatory risk assessments and transparency notices, and Illinois HB 3773's outright prohibition on AI-driven hiring discrimination. Then we dig into how OVI's structured audio chat design — standardized questions, full transcription, consistent scoring, and a stored audit trail — creates the exact documentation regulators are looking for. No biometrics. No black boxes. Just transcript-based scoring with humans making the final call. And yes, we talk numbers: at about $2.50 per fully documented screening interview on the Starter plan, this isn't just the compliant choice — it's the cost-effective one.
