Workday, an HR SaaS company, faces a collective lawsuit initiated by Derek Mobley, claiming its HiredScore AI service discriminates against older job applicants. Mobley reported applying for over 100 positions without success due to the system's discriminatory screening process. He has been joined by four plaintiffs, including Jill Hughes, who also experienced rejection from hundreds of applications due to automated evaluations. The controversy surrounding AI in hiring highlights potential bias even as it aims to streamline recruitment processes.
If an individual does not make it past these Workday screening products he/she will not advance in the hiring process.
A human did not review the applications.
AI hiring remains controversial... they can manifest ingrained bias even of the kind they're supposed to remove.
the case has since bounced around the courts, but now Mobley... has been joined in his legal action by another four job candidates.
