It amazes me that the bean-counters are on board with this sort of silliness. The woo-woo test services aren't free, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have to throw a few extra bucks into the legal coffers if they backfire and accidentally-intentionally penalize a protected group.
And for what... a questionably-measurable improvement in quality for employees that already have like a 150% per-annum turnover?
It also feels like industry is trying to turn HR and recruitment into a science-- if they can put enough algorithms and skill tests in the path, they can automate the recruitment process. I'm amazed HR doesn't detect this as an existential threat and sabotage it from inside.
