The UK Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has called for a ban on employers asking candidates about their past salary or pay expectations. The watchdog argues the practice carries existing pay gaps into new roles, which matters for recruiting teams that use pay questions in applicant screening.
The EEOC has taken action against a staffing firm over a job posting that allegedly restricted applicants to H-1B visa holders, according to HR Dive — following through on Chair Andrea Lucas's stated priority of pursuing cases involving anti-American worker bias. HR-tech and recruiting platform operators should note the agency's active enforcement posture around discriminatory hiring language.
Proposed legislation in Pennsylvania and New York would require employers to disclose hiring timelines and remove filled job postings, while the Texas attorney general is reportedly investigating LinkedIn over allegedly profiting from fake job ads — putting "ghost job" posting practices under legal scrutiny that recruiting and ATS teams should monitor. Research from Clarify Capital and Greenhouse suggests roughly 20–25% of active job listings may not reflect genuine, near-term hiring intent, with some employers using AI to automate postings for inactive roles.
