To encourage Workday’s corporate clients to demand greater transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI-driven hiring decisions. Workday’s AI-based hiring tools lack visibility into their decision-making processes, raising serious concerns about potential bias, unfair rejections, and legal liability for employers.
This campaign urges HR leaders, executives, and compliance teams to take a proactive role in ensuring that AI hiring technology does not unfairly exclude qualified job seekers or expose companies to regulatory and reputational risks.
🔹 Lack of Transparency in AI Hiring – Job seekers do not receive clear explanations when Workday’s AI eliminates them from consideration, creating barriers to employment for qualified individuals.
🔹 Potential for Discriminatory Hiring Practices – AI screening systems may unintentionally disadvantage long-term unemployed candidates, older workers, individuals with disabilities, and other protected groups.
🔹 Legal and Compliance Risks for Employers – Workday attempts to shift responsibility for AI-driven hiring outcomes to its clients, meaning employers could also face lawsuits for hiring discrimination.
🔹 Reputational Damage for Companies – Employers using AI-powered hiring tools without transparency risk public backlash, regulatory scrutiny, and loss of trust from job seekers and employees.
