NEW: We filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against Aon for deceptively marketing their online hiring assessments as “bias-free,” even though the tests likely discriminate against people based on characteristics like race or disability.

The ACLU has filed a complaint with the Federsl Trade Commission “against Aon, a major hiring technology vendor, alleging that Aon is deceptively marketing widely used online hiring tests as ‘bias-free’ even though the tests discriminate against job seekers based on traits like their race or disability. The ACLU and co-counsel have also filed charges with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against both Aon and an employer that uses Aon’s assessments on behalf of a biracial (Black/white) autistic job applicant who was required to take Aon assessments as part of the employer’s hiring process.” #TitleVII #Race #Discrimination #ArtificialIntelligence #Applicant #Screening #Bias #DisparateImpact https://lnkd.in/eAR_sgmk
