Most 2026 rules turn on three things: notice, consent, and whether a human makes the decision. Emily is designed around all three, and keeps the records to prove it.
Every email, the booking page, and the first sentence of every call say plainly that Emily is an AI working with the hiring team and that calls are recorded. No automated call is placed without the candidate's explicit consent, captured with a timestamp (TCPA).
Emily advances candidates on evidence; she does not decline anyone on her own unless a company switches that on. Escalations (accommodation requests, medical or family matters, complaints) go to a person and are never scored. This maps to NYC Local Law 144, Illinois AI interview law, and the Colorado AI Act.
Screens and evaluations are limited to skills, experience, availability and legal eligibility. Protected characteristics and their proxies (names, photos, graduation years, addresses, school names) are excluded by instruction. Every judgment cites evidence so it can be audited.
Original files with SHA-256 checksums, transcripts turn by turn, every message, decision and event in an append-only log. Selection rates by stage and source are computable for a bias audit. One-click JSON export per company; deletion on request.
Mail, calendar and meeting access is granted by you through OAuth to your own Google, Microsoft or Zoom accounts and can be revoked in one click. Tokens are stored per connection and refreshed on use. Data lives in your deployment's Postgres.
Passwordless sign-in with single-use links, sessions hashed at rest, signed webhooks, rate-limited candidate pages with unguessable links, secrets only in the environment. Platform credentials for speech and AI are shared; client credentials are never shared between companies.
New York City requires an annual independent bias audit before an automated employment decision tool is used on NYC candidates. Illinois requires notice and consent for AI-analyzed video interviews. Colorado's AI Act (in force June 2026) requires a risk-management program, impact assessment, notice and an appeal path for adverse decisions. Several states require all-party consent for call recording; Emily obtains verbal consent at the top of every call. Have counsel review before use in these jurisdictions.
