Immigration enforcement is back in the spotlight, with employers squarely in the crosshairs. With a growing, large budget for DHS and a renewed focus on workforce audits, businesses of all sizes are discovering how costly even small Form I-9 mistakes can be. From missed reverifications to documentation errors, noncompliance has grown from a quiet, background HR issue to a headline risk with significant financial consequences. 

From recruiting to training to building a strong corporate culture, HR functions in every corner of an organization. But one responsibility stands out for legal and compliance importance: employment eligibility verification.  

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is enhancing and transforming many parts of our lives, including recruitment and employment. As with any new process, AI is not without growing pains. If you’ve been following HR news lately, then you’ve probably seen headlines about the Workday AI lawsuit. It’s a case that’s making headlines across the HR industry and raising critical questions about the tools many of us rely on to make smarter, faster hiring decisions. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming a common tool in today’s recruiting and hiring process. From resume screeners and chatbots to video interview analysis tools, AI recruitment solutions promise faster, smarter, and more efficient hiring decisions. For overloaded HR teams, support from AI feels like a breath of fresh air and can’t come soon enough. 

As part of the hiring process, HR understands how critical it is to confirm that every new employee is legally authorized to work in the U.S. Most of us are familiar with Form I-9, the official document that every new hire is required to complete. But are you also aware of a tool where you can double-check eligibility in real time and avoid potential compliance issues down the road? Well, you can. That’s where E-Verify comes in.
