Eightfold AI sued over alleged unnotified applicant screening reports

Two California job seekers sue Eightfold AI, alleging its hiring platform creates screening reports from vast data without notice or a chance to dispute, potentially violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act and state credit-reporting laws; the suit seeks a nationwide class and notes that about a third of Eightfold’s customers are Fortune 500 firms. Eightfold says it uses data provided by users and does not scrape social media.
