The living tool list
Appendix A of the book covers how to choose recruiting technology: the categories, the questions to ask inside each one, and the tools worth evaluating. Tool lists age faster than books do, so the current version of that landscape lives online and gets updated as products change. The buying criteria in the book hold up. The product names move.
About the compliance material*
*This is general information, not legal advice. The AI Hiring Compliance Checklist, the Candidate Notice Templates, and the legal material in chapters 6 and 7 of the book are built to help you ask sharper questions and run a more defensible hiring process. They are not a compliance guarantee, and they do not create an attorney-client relationship with 4Spot Consulting.
Employment law and AI regulation are moving fast, and they move differently in every state. The rules stated in these resources were verified as of July 31, 2026. Some of them will have changed by the time you read this. Before you act on any of it, have a licensed employment attorney confirm the current rules for the states you actually hire in.
