US AI-hiring regulation is in flux. EEOC technical guidance on automated decision tools, NYC LL144 audit guidance, Illinois AIVIA scope, and several state-level proposals are all moving. Launching the US region before the regulatory picture stabilises would mean updating the conformity documentation every quarter and re-opening every customer conversation. We would rather take the time to be ready than reach the market shipping caveats.
The US region ships when the regulatory picture stabilises (mid-2027 is the target window per the master IA, but it depends on regulator activity), when the US-billing and US-residency engineering work is complete, and when we have a Picked-side US compliance lead in post. The combination is on the roadmap; the timing is driven by regulator clarity, not by our engineering speed.
US-headquartered companies with EU or UK candidates can use Picked today. The EU-residency model serves EU and UK candidates with EU AI Act conformity built to Annex III. US candidates can apply but the EU-residency posture means their data crosses borders to the EU; some US firms accept this, others wait.
US-headquartered firms hiring exclusively in the UK or EU run on Picked today as a UK-customer with EU-only candidate processing. The UK or EU page describes what that looks like in practice.
