State hiring-compliance rules, compared.
Pay transparency, AI-hiring disclosure, and recruiting-text rules vary meaningfully by state — for teams recruiting across state lines, especially multi-location and franchise operations, here's what actually applies where.
Recruiting across multiple states means recruiting under multiple, genuinely different rulebooks — not just a single federal standard. This isn't a directory of every state; it's the states where the rules meaningfully diverge, including states where the most useful fact is that a rule doesn't apply.

Hiring Compliance by State FAQ
How often is this page updated?
Each state's page lists the date its facts were last reviewed against primary sources (statute text or state agency guidance). Hiring law changes frequently, so treat the review date as the freshness signal, not the page's publish date.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is educational information about publicly available state statutes and regulations, meant to help recruiting teams understand what applies to routine hiring activity. Confirm current requirements with your own employment counsel before changing a hiring process.
Why only these states?
We cover states with genuinely distinctive hiring-compliance rules — including states where the notable fact is the absence of a law, like Texas's lack of a pay-transparency requirement. We're adding more states as they're researched and verified.
