Frequently Asked Questions

Does this apply to Zoom interviews?

Typically, no. The law applies to "video interviews" that are analyzed by AI. Live interviews are usually exempt unless an AI tool is recording and analyzing them in real-time.

Do we need to report demographics?

Yes, but only if you rely solely on AI analysis to offer in-person interviews. You must report data to the DCEO annually.

What if the applicant refuses consent?

They cannot be compelled to use the AI video interview. You may need to offer an alternative non-AI interview method.
