HireVue compliance requirements for employers

HireVue's AI-driven video interviewing and pre-employment assessment platforms are classified as Automated Employment Decision Tools (AEDTs) under NYC Local Law 144 and as AI video analysis tools under Illinois AIVIA. If your organization uses HireVue for candidate screening or assessment, you are required to: conduct and publish an annual bias audit performed by a qualified independent third party, provide candidates with written notice of AEDT use at least 10 business days before evaluation, obtain explicit consent before AI analysis of video interviews (Illinois), and maintain documentation demonstrating compliance with EEOC disparate impact analysis guidance. EmployArmor integrates with HireVue to automate bias audit scheduling, notice delivery, consent collection, and the immutable compliance record required in both jurisdictions — reducing manual compliance work and the risk of costly violations.

How EmployArmor Handles HireVue Compliance

  1. 1

    Connect HireVue to EmployArmor

    Link HireVue to your EmployArmor workspace. EmployArmor catalogs HireVue assessments and video interview tools as AEDTs and maps them to the specific requirements under NYC LL144, Illinois AIVIA, and applicable EEOC guidance.

  2. 2

    Schedule and Coordinate the Bias Audit

    EmployArmor connects you with a qualified independent third-party auditor, manages the audit timeline, and ensures the audit is completed before your annual deadline. Audit results are stored and renewal reminders are automated.

  3. 3

    Publish the Bias Audit Summary

    Following audit completion, EmployArmor publishes the required bias audit summary to a publicly accessible URL and maintains that link — as required by NYC LL144 — for at least six months after the next audit is completed.

  4. 4

    Deliver Timely Candidate Notices

    For each candidate applying to a role where HireVue will be used, EmployArmor automatically sends the required LL144 notice at least 10 business days before the AEDT is applied, with delivery timestamps captured in the compliance log.

  5. 5

    Collect Illinois AIVIA Consent

    For candidates based in Illinois, EmployArmor presents the AIVIA consent disclosure describing what HireVue AI evaluates, collects affirmative consent before video analysis begins, and stores the consent record with timestamps.

  6. 6

    Maintain Immutable Compliance Records

    All bias audit documents, notice delivery receipts, consent records, and audit summaries are written to an immutable compliance log — giving you evidence of compliance ready for DCWP inquiry or litigation defense.

By the Numbers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does using HireVue require a bias audit under NYC Local Law 144?

Yes. HireVue's on-demand video interviews and AI-driven assessments qualify as AEDTs under NYC Local Law 144. Employers must conduct an annual bias audit by an independent third party, publish the summary, and provide candidates with notice at least 10 business days before AEDT use. Non-compliance carries $500–$1,500 per day per violation.

What Illinois AIVIA requirements apply to HireVue users?

Illinois AIVIA (effective January 1, 2026) requires employers to notify candidates that AI will analyze their video interview, describe what characteristics the AI evaluates, obtain explicit consent before analysis begins, and provide an option for human review. HireVue's video analysis falls squarely within AIVIA's scope.

How does EEOC guidance apply to HireVue AI assessments?

The EEOC's guidance on AI hiring tools requires employers using HireVue to evaluate whether the AI produces disparate impact on protected groups under Title VII. Employers should request disaggregated adverse impact data from HireVue, assess disparate impact, and be prepared to demonstrate job-relatedness — employers cannot fully delegate anti-discrimination compliance to AI vendors.

What notice must employers provide candidates when using HireVue?

Under NYC LL144, written notice at least 10 business days before AEDT use, describing job qualifications assessed. Under Illinois AIVIA, notice that AI will analyze the video, description of evaluated characteristics, and consent obtained before analysis. Both can be satisfied through HireVue integrations, but employers remain legally responsible.

What is the penalty for non-compliance when using HireVue?

NYC LL144 penalties are $500–$1,500 per day per violation, with each day of unannounced AEDT use constituting a new violation. Illinois AIVIA carries civil penalties and creates a private right of action for candidates. Combined multi-jurisdiction exposure makes compliance infrastructure investment material.

How can employers using HireVue automate these compliance requirements?

Platforms like EmployArmor integrate with HireVue to automate bias audit coordination, notice delivery at the 10-business-day window, AIVIA consent collection, and immutable compliance record-keeping across NYC, Illinois, and other applicable jurisdictions — reducing manual tracking and the risk of missed deadlines.
