Why Financial Services Has the Toughest AI Hiring Rules — And One Tool Built for Them

No sector faces a denser regulatory stack for AI hiring than financial services. FINRA's 2026 oversight report just made AI governance an explicit supervisory priority. Colorado's AI Act kicks in June 30th. California requires four-year data retention on automated hiring records. And the EEOC has been clear: if your AI tool produces disparate impact, the liability is yours — not your vendor's. Most AI hiring tools weren't built for this. OVI was. Starting at $99 a month, OVI's structured audio-only screening generates a defensible audit trail by design — no video, no biometrics, no opaque scoring. Just consistent, documented, transcript-based evaluation with a human making the final call. In this episode, we break down the financial services compliance landscape and why OVI's architecture fits it.
