What is Regulatory Compliance?

The process of meeting requirements set by government agencies and industry regulators, including rules issued by the DOL, EEOC, OSHA, IRS, SEC, and their state-level counterparts that apply to how companies manage their workforce.

Why it matters in hiring

Regulatory Compliance comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
