Recruiting runs on AI for screening, scheduling and job ads; faster hiring has not followed, and 2027 brings human-review deadlines in California and Europe.

California set 2027 dates for human review of AI personnel decisions, while recruiting agents arrive inside LinkedIn and Adecco without faster hiring yet.

Europe's hiring-AI delay is law while disclosure took effect, US screening is near-universal, and the CV no longer separates candidates.

A 2026 survey shows most employers that cut jobs for AI have rehired those roles, many at a net loss.

In May 2026 a Stanford bias study, Altman's reversal on AI job losses, and the Mobley v. Workday case put AI hiring tools on notice.
