Fair Hiring Standards Act
We are on a mission to ensure job seekers are treated with dignity, respect and consideration throughout the hiring process. Virginia’s workforce deserves hiring standards that make this the best state in America to work and build a career
Fair for Workers
Fair hiring means transparent information and respectful communication. This Act sets basic standards that protect people from unnecessary delays and uncertainty while helping employers hire smarter and faster.
Smart for Employers
Efficient hiring saves money and reduces turnover. When expectations are clear, candidates stay engaged and the right people get hired faster. Fair standards help businesses compete and grow in a modern workforce.
Stronger for Virginia
Transparent hiring boosts participation in the workforce, stabilizes families, and drives economic growth. Virginia can lead the nation by making employment systems more accountable, efficient and future-ready.
What Problem does the act solve?
The way jobs are filled in Virginia has become slow, opaque, and often disrespectful to people’s time and dignity. Too many applicants are left waiting for weeks with no response, forced through endless interview rounds, or misled by job postings that don’t reflect the real role or pay. Fake listings and ghosting waste time, harm trust, and make job searching a costly emotional and economic burden for workers and employers alike. This isn’t just inefficient; it erodes confidence in the labor market and hurts families, students, and communities across our state.
What The Act Does
The Fair Hiring Standards Act sets clear, modern expectations for hiring in Virginia. It ensures accurate job information, reasonable interview processes, timely communication, verified postings, and accountability for accepted offers. The result: a fairer, faster hiring system that benefits both workers and employers.
What The Act Does Not Do
This Act does not interfere with employer judgment or dictate hiring outcomes. It does not impose quotas, limit who can work where, override at-will employment, or penalize employers for normal hiring activity. It also excludes roles that operate under different legal frameworks, such as certain commissioned, academic, political, or short-term positions. The goal is to eliminate unnecessary waste and unfair treatment, creating a modern hiring system that works better for everyone in Virginia.
