The Workday HR package is used by many corporations to track employee capability, advertize positions and screen resumes. It turns out the Workday has a subsystem that includes screening based on gender, race and ethnicity. Workday already has access to current employment and compensation data for internal employees. The consequence of having DEI objectives rolled into Workday results in job application rejections of otherwise qualified employees on the basis gender/race/ethnicity. There lawsuits underway aimed at corporations who use Workday with the screening capability.

The ghost positions that are the topic of the article are yet another piece of the puzzle. Not only gender/race/ethnicity, but age and compensation can become disqualifiers for applicants. Applications for ghost positions can be rejected without further evaluation.
