Key Compliance Considerations

Workday

  • May qualify as AEDT depending on configuration
  • Skills matching algorithms need monitoring
  • Large data aggregation increases privacy considerations

Eightfold AI

  • Automated matching is likely AEDT
  • Skills inference from incomplete data raises accuracy concerns
  • Career predictions are consequential decisions

Our Recommendation

Both Tools Require Compliance Attention

Workday 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
