Built by people who felt the sting of non-compliance

Role Canary was founded in 2023 by two former heads of talent who watched their companies pay five-figure settlements over job ads nobody had thought twice about. They knew there had to be a better way.

Today we help 2,400+ HR and TA teams across the US and EU catch compliance issues before regulators do — automatically, every single day.

Make job ad compliance invisible — so HR teams can focus on hiring great people

No manual law tracking. No legal reviews for every job post. No surprise fines. Role Canary watches so you don't have to.

Values that shape everything we build

🔍

Transparency first

Pay transparency makes hiring fairer for everyone. That's not just what we sell — it shapes every product decision we make.

Speed over perfection

A compliance flag caught today is worth more than a perfect report delivered next week. We build for speed — because in compliance, timing is everything.

🤝

Built for real teams

We've sat in the HR seat. Role Canary is designed for the actual human doing the work, not just the enterprise buyer.

🌍

Global by design

Whether you're hiring in Colorado or Copenhagen, our platform tracks local laws so your team doesn't have to.

🛡️

Privacy is non-negotiable

We process job ad data — never candidate data. We're SOC 2 compliant, GDPR-ready, and we never sell what you share with us.

🌱

Always up to date

Laws change constantly. So do we. Our rules engine updates every time a new regulation passes, so your compliance never falls behind.

Practitioners, engineers, and compliance nerds

We're a team of 18 based across New York, Amsterdam, and London.
