Job seekers are suing an AI hiring tool used by Microsoft and Paypal for allegedly compiling secretive reports that help employers screen candidates

TL;DR: Job seekers are suing an AI hiring tool called Eightfold for allegedly compiling secretive reports that help employers screen candidates. Why is this illegal? The same reason credit rating agencies have to tell you why they dinged your score, the lawsuit claims. If the courts buy this logic, it could start to reshape the black-box world of AI hiring.

What happened: Like many people who’ve played the job search numbers game lately, the plaintiffs were sick of applications seemingly plummeting into a void.
