Applicant tracking systems manage applications; some products include automated features, but not every ATS ranks candidates. Under Title VII, selection procedures can raise discrimination concerns when they have adverse impact. EEOC guidance addresses assessing impact in software and AI and explains job-related validation and business necessity. The four-fifths rule is a rule of thumb, not a guarantee of compliance. NYC Local Law 144 applies to covered automated employment decision tools and requires an audit within one year, public audit information, and notices; DCWP states notice timing. Disability law may also require reasonable accommodation in AI-assisted hiring. NYC Local Law 144 requires covered employers to conduct an annual independent bias audit, publish a summary, and give candidates at least 10 business days’ notice before using an AEDT; the notice must include job qualifications and characteristics used. The four-fifths rule compares a group’s selection rate with the highest group rate and is a rule of thumb, not a safe harbor. EEOC testimony also states employers using vendor screens remain responsible for understanding the product and determining whether it causes adverse impact.
