Your personal data – including online activity, resume information, or publicly available content – may have been used to make hiring decisions without your knowledge.
Outten & Golden is investigating whether applicants were unfairly rejected through AI-driven hiring tools used on hiring platforms like Workable, a platform used by thousands of employers to collect job applications and evaluate candidates.
Many employers rely on automated systems to screen candidates using external data, automated scoring, data profiles, or third-party information – often without giving applicants the chance to review or challenge the decision. California law requires fairness in hiring decisions. Applicants who were rejected based on flawed or unreviewable AI processes may be entitled to relief.
We are investigating potential claims involving Workable-based hiring decisions affecting California applicants within the past two years, including at companies such as Capgemini, Keywords Studios, Millennium Hotels and Resorts, Agile Robots, Ascendis Pharma, and BKF Engineering.
If you were rejected under these circumstances, we encourage you to explore if any of your rights were violated. Reach out today for a free, confidential consultation.
