What Employers Need to Know About the TJAAA

The hiring landscape is changing. Lawmakers have introduced the Truth in Job Advertising and Accountability Act (TJAAA), a proposed bill aimed at improving transparency and fairness in job postings. While it is not yet law, it signals a clear direction for where hiring regulations are headed. For employers, this is an opportunity: by preparing now, you can stay ahead of compliance requirements, strengthen your employer brand, and build greater trust with applicants.

What the TJAAA Covers

The TJAAA is designed to set national standards for job postings. If passed, it would require employers to:

Ensure all postings represent active, funded, and authorized roles.
Disclose key information such as salary ranges, intended hire timelines, and whether a role is new or previously held.
Limit how long postings remain live, reducing confusion for applicants.
Maintain clear records for transparency and accountability.

The bill also sets expectations for data privacy and applicant notifications, aligning hiring practices with the same accountability standards seen in other areas of business compliance.

Why This Matters for Employers

Getting ahead of potential regulation has tangible benefits:

Brand Reputation

Transparent postings help signal credibility and respect for applicants, setting your company apart in competitive talent markets.

Risk Reduction

Early alignment with proposed standards lowers the likelihood of compliance challenges if the bill is enacted.

Talent Attraction

Today's job seekers increasingly value openness around pay, timelines, and application outcomes. Meeting those expectations can directly improve applicant engagement.

How Hire Calling Supports You

Hire Calling provides a simple way for employers to demonstrate transparency and readiness:

Employers validate each job posting with a Hire Calling Job ID, backed by a donation signal.

A copy-and-paste blurb with the Job ID makes it easy to show applicants the posting is genuine.

Employers can also opt into TJAAA pre-compliance, adopting key elements of the proposed bill before they become required.

This means you can give applicants greater confidence in your postings today, while preparing your organization for future compliance standards.

Taking the Lead

Regulations like the TJAAA reflect a larger trend: applicants want clearer, more trustworthy job postings. By acting early, you not only prepare for potential compliance - you demonstrate leadership, attract stronger candidates, and strengthen your company's reputation in the market.

The Bottom Line

Hire Calling helps you do this quickly and simply, turning compliance preparation into a competitive advantage.
