🏦 Bank CEO rejects RTO

Inside: Fullstory is hiring in engineering, marketing, and sales. Plus: global bank CEO doesn't force RTO, upgrades for your home office, remote business ideas, WFH dress codes, and more.

Good Morning,

Interesting news in the world of job applications: Workday, one of the largest applicant tracking system (ATS) companies, has been ordered by a judge to provide a list of all of its customers that used a particular AI tool in the applicant review process.

A lawsuit against the company alleges that the tool discriminated against job applicants aged 40 and up.

While Workday has refuted the claims, I’m sure more will come out about this — and it’s a good warning for those in the HR tech space to be mindful of. Ageism is certainly prevalent, and ensuring AI tools don’t exacerbate the issue will be increasingly important.
