Employees and job candidates need employment to support themselves and their families. Employers control employment decisions. Recently, employers have turned to Automated employment decision tools (AEDTs), which are socio-technical systems that ingest personal data to produce impactful outputs, to assist with consequential employment decision making processes and outcomes. The power imbalance held by employers leaves employees and job seekers vulnerable to the decision-making processes, including those supported by (or even fully performed by) AEDTs.
