WARDEN AI'S WEBINAR SERIES

The Eightfold Class Action: The FCRA, Privacy and Fairness in Hiring

Wednesday 4th February
12 PM EDT | 9 AM PDT | 5 PM BST

Learn about the case could reshape AI in HR

A new legal front has opened in the world of HR Tech: Privacy and Consumer Reporting.

Join us for this fact-based briefing where we move beyond the headlines to deconstruct the specific operational risks for Talent Acquisition leaders.

What we'll cover:

  • The "Sourcing" Trap: Why scraping public data (LinkedIn, GitHub) to find passive candidates is no longer a safe harbor, and the lessons from the TalentBin precedent.
  • Regulation by Litigation: With government enforcement lagging, the courts are now deciding the rules of AI in hiring. We discuss how this shifts control away from employers and leads to dangerous "overcorrections" in the market.
  • Defining the "Consumer Report": How the Eightfold complaint and recent CFPB guidance are redefining "algorithmic scoring" as a regulated activity.
  • The Human Impact: Moving beyond the legal arguments to understand the real-world cost of "black box" rejections on candidate equity and access to work.
