Summary

A federal judge ordered Workday to disclose all employers that used its AI hiring tool HiredScore to rank job applicants, following a discrimination lawsuit by an applicant over 40 who claims the algorithm systematically filtered out older workers. The case could reveal which major corporations between 2019-2024 relied on AI that may have discriminated against job seekers before human review.

    UPDATE: The AI didn’t just ghost your resume. It discriminated. A federal judge just ordered Workday to hand over a full list of employers that used AI to rank job applicants. Not just their tech… but every company that enabled HiredScore. And now it’s evidence. 🧵👇

  2. #2

    Any job you applied for through a major corporate portal between 2019–2024 could be on that list. The AI product in question - HiredScore - was ranking, filtering, and scoring you… before a human ever saw your name. You are not crazy.

    This case comes from Mobley v. Workday- a job applicant over 40 who says he was rejected over 80 times by companies using Workday’s AI tools. He claims their algorithm systematically filtered out older applicants. Now it’s a collective action, and the court just expanded the scope big time.

    This list will be explosive. Workday tried to say they didn’t even own HiredScore when the discrimination lawsuit started. But the judge said nope… if your platform enabled the tech, you’re in. So now they have until August 20 to spill which companies used it.

    Turns out ghosting candidates can come with legal fees. An employee sued Workday for AI discrimination… and just turned it into a landmark case. A federal judge certified it as a collective action. Thousands of job seekers auto-rejected by AI could soon have legal standing too. This is gonna get messy isn't it?
