Why I recommend it: One elite firm's view — its bar is unusually high, so don't treat it as typical.
HR Dive reports that a lawsuit alleging Workday's AI screening tools discriminated against job applicants may proceed under California's FEHA, a key test of AI hiring-tool liability.
Why I recommend it: HR Dive blocked our automated check, so confirm the article opens for you; the case is ongoing, so treat outcomes as unsettled. If you use AI screening in hiring, this case matters.
angld.ai analysis of 20,973 posts on Reddit's r/recruitinghell finding that being ghosted after applying now rivals rejection as job seekers' top complaint.
Why I recommend it: Written by angld.ai, which sells a paid tool for reaching hiring managers directly — the answer to ghosting it points to is its own product. Reddit complaints also skew toward the most frustrated job seekers.
Peter Kuhn and Trevor Osaki survey people on which kinds of hiring and pay discrimination they consider unfair, and why.
Why I recommend it: A working paper based on survey attitudes — it tells you what people think is fair, not what the law allows.
How common fake or dormant job listings are, the survey data behind the estimates, and where proposed ghost-job laws stood as of September 2026.
Why I recommend it: Written for employers, but useful for job seekers: it explains why a listing may never be filled so you can spend your applications wisely.
A duty-by-duty walkthrough of California's automated decisionmaking technology rules — approved 23 September 2025, in effect from 1 January 2026, with ADMT obligations from 1 January 2027 — and where each duty can actually be enforced in a system. Covers pre-use notice, opt-out, human review, appeals and per-decision record keeping. The rules apply when computation replaces human judgment on a significant decision about work, money, housing, education or health.
Why I recommend it: The clearest free explanation I have found of what these rules require, and the section on significant decisions is directly relevant if an employer screens you by machine — you get notice, an opt-out and a route to a human. Read it knowing DeepInspect sells the kind of control it describes, so the framing pushes toward buying a product; the legal dates and duties are checkable against the state agency's own page, which it links.
