Outcome
Scenario: Your ATS (Workday) has auto-rejected a candidate for a Senior Operations Manager role. F.A.S. intercepts the rejection before it's sent and begins forensic analysis.

"Candidate does not meet minimum qualifications. Employment history shows gaps inconsistent with role requirements."
F.A.S. is running a forensic audit — analyzing this rejection across 6 compliance lanes in real time. The rejection is blocked until audit is complete.
F.A.S. FORENSIC AUDIT ENGINE — RUNNING
!
Age Proxy Discrimination Detected
Rejection language contains age proxy signals: "overqualified," excessive experience framing, and "culture fit" language are documented proxies for age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Candidates with 7+ years experience are disproportionately flagged by ATS systems trained on junior role data. High litigation risk.
!
Proxy Discrimination Detected
Employment gap language ("inconsistent history") is a documented proxy for caregiving leave, medical leave, and military service — all protected under FMLA and ADA. High correlation with disproportionate impact on women and disabled candidates.
!
Disparate Impact Risk — 4/5ths Rule
Rejection based on employment gaps without individualized assessment fails the 4/5ths rule analysis. EEOC enforcement precedent: gap-based screening disproportionately excludes protected groups at a rate exceeding the adverse impact threshold.
~
Keyword Mismatch — Moderate Risk
Candidate skills (Supply Chain, Six Sigma, SAP) are directly relevant to the posted role requirements. ATS rejection reason does not reference a specific skill or qualification gap — suggesting algorithmic over-rejection.
!
Legal Framework Triggers
NYC LL144: Automated employment decision tool used without bias audit disclosure. Colorado SB205: Gap-based rejection without human review violates individualized assessment requirement effective June 30, 2026. EU AI Act: High-risk AI system decision without human oversight.
~
Employment Gap Analysis
7 years total experience with unspecified gap detected. Gap duration and reason unknown — ATS did not capture context. Penalizing candidates for undocumented gaps without inquiry violates EEOC best practice guidance (2022).
✓
Comparative Assessment — Insufficient Data
No comparative candidate data provided by ATS. Cannot confirm selected candidate was demonstrably more qualified on job-related criteria. Human review required before rejection is finalized.
JD ANALYSIS — CROSS-REFERENCE AUDIT
Job Description Requirements vs. Candidate Profile:
✗ "Minimum 5 years operations experience" — candidate has 7 years. Rejection inconsistent.
~ "SAP proficiency required" — candidate lists SAP. ATS failed to match.
✓ "Six Sigma certification preferred" — candidate qualified.
⚠ ATS rejection reason does not align with posted job requirements. High litigation risk.
