Legal and validation considerations for psychometric tests in screening tools?

I run a hiring automation platform and weighing whether to include psychometric assessments as an optional module. Before going further, I wanted to get perspective from people who've dealt with this.

A few things I'm trying to understand: What are the legal and compliance considerations for including psychometric tests in a screening workflow? Does this vary a lot by region (US vs EU vs UK)?

If questions are AI generated rather than drawn from a validated inventory, do they still need sign-off from a certified occupational psychologist to be defensible, or is that only required for certain test categories (cognitive, personality, etc.)?

For recruiters and TA folks: do you actually value psychometric results from general screening platforms, or do you prefer dedicated providers like SHL, Hogan, or Criteria? Trying to figure out whether this is a responsible feature to build in-house or whether it should stay with specialist providers. Any experience, cautionary tales, or reading recommendations appreciated.

Resume - Job Description to Chatgpt copy paste?

Quick question for hiring managers, founders, and TA leads.

An HR leader told me yesterday that before every candidate interview, he opens ChatGPT, pastes the JD, pastes the resume, and asks it to generate tailored questions, spot gaps, and flag concerns.

Every candidate. Every day. Copy paste, copy paste. Is this you too?
