In Mobley v. Workday (N.D. Cal., No. 3:23-cv-00770), Judge Rita Lin ruled on 12 July 2024 that the plaintiff could pursue Workday as an agent of the employers using its screening tools, which could make the vendor directly liable under Title VII, the ADEA and the ADA. She dismissed the claim that Workday is an employment agency and let the disparate impact claims proceed; the EEOC had filed an amicus brief backing vendor liability.

Why it matters

A US court let a discrimination claim proceed directly against an AI hiring vendor, as well as against the employers that use its tools.
