Abstract

As an increasing number of hiring(-related) decisions have delegated to algorithms, the author explores the question to what extent EU non-discrimination laws, in combination with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) No. 2016/679 (‘GDPR’), provide (unsuccessful) job applicants with sufficient legal means to address any discriminatory or biased automated decision taken by an employer.

Keywords: discrimination, algorithms, cv parsing, EU non-discrimination laws, data protection
