Key Compliance Considerations
SHL
- Assessments are AEDTs requiring bias audits
- Long history provides validation data
- Enterprise use increases compliance scope
Wonderlic
- Cognitive tests have disparate impact history
- Must demonstrate job-relatedness
- Requires careful validation and monitoring
Our Recommendation
Both Tools Require Compliance Attention
SHL has a lower compliance burden, but both tools require attention to AI hiring regulations depending on how you use them.
Key steps for either tool:
- Document how AI influences employment decisions
- Implement candidate notification workflows
- Schedule bias audits if using in NYC
- Complete impact assessments for Colorado compliance
