Who's In Scope
If you use an automated employment decision tool to substantially assist or replace discretionary hiring decisions for a job in NYC, you're in scope. That includes phone screens, ranking systems, and most resume parsers.

Candidate Notice Requirements
Candidates must be told an automated tool will be used at least 10 business days before it is. They have the right to request an alternative selection process or accommodation.
