About SafeReq
What We Do
California has some of the most extensive job posting requirements in the country. Pay transparency disclosures, protected class language, exemption classifications, criminal history restrictions, cannabis use protections–the list grows with every legislative session.
SafeReq's JobReqIQ engine analyzes job postings against these requirements before publication. It identifies potential areas of concern, provides statute references, and suggests alternative language for consideration.
The goal is straightforward: help your team catch potential issues early, document your compliance review process, and reduce the risk of publishing postings that may not align with current California law.
The Challenge
Evolving Requirements
California enacts new employment legislation regularly. SB 1162, AB 2188, SB 642, AB 1008–keeping templates current across every requirement is difficult, especially when hiring managers customize postings.
PAGA Exposure
Under California's Private Attorneys General Act, employees may bring civil actions for Labor Code violations. Documented compliance efforts may be a factor in penalty determinations.
Scale
Organizations with many open roles can't manually review every posting against every applicable statute. Manual review is thorough but slow. Automated screening fills that gap.
Speed
Hiring teams need to move fast. Waiting days for legal review on routine postings creates bottlenecks. Automated screening delivers results in seconds, reserving human review for complex situations.
Platform Capabilities
The JobReqIQ engine combines multiple analysis techniques to screen job postings against California employment law references.
Automated Screening
Pattern matching, NLP, and rule-based analysis against California employment law requirements.
Statute References
Findings cite specific Labor Code sections, Government Code provisions, and regulatory requirements.
Severity Classification
Issues categorized from Critical (statutory requirements) to Informational (best practices).
Suggested Alternatives
When potential issues are identified, alternative language is provided for consideration.
Compliance Reports
Exportable PDF reports with findings, timestamps, and version tracking for your records.
Manual Review
Optional review by compliance specialists for nuanced situations on paid plans.
Our Approach
Compliance-First
Every feature we build starts with a simple question: does this help employers identify potential compliance issues before they become problems?
Transparency
We show our work. Every finding includes statute references, confidence scores, and explanations so you can make informed decisions about your job postings.
Documentation
A compliance review is only as useful as the record it creates. Every analysis is timestamped, versioned, and stored to support your compliance workflow.
Human Judgment
Automated analysis is a starting point, not an endpoint. We design our tools to inform your decisions, not replace them.
How It Works
Submit
Paste or upload your job posting before publication.
Analyze
JobReqIQ screens against California employment law requirements in seconds.
Act
Review findings, update your posting, and document your compliance process.
Important: SafeReq is an informational compliance analysis tool, not a law firm. Nothing on this website or in our platform constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship. Our analysis identifies potential areas of concern but does not guarantee compliance with applicable laws. For legal advice regarding your specific situation, consult a licensed California employment attorney.
