Hi everyone, After over a year of work on this project, the Center for Democracy & Technology <https://cdt.org/>(CDT) in collaboration with Coworker.org <http://coworker.org>and the American Association of People with Disabilities <https://www.aapd.com/>(AAPD) are excited to share the results of a human-centered research study in our new report, “Screened Out: The Impact of Digitized Hiring Assessments on Disabled Workers <https://cdt.org/insights/screened-out-the-impact-of-digitized-hiring-assessments-on-disabled-workers/>.” This report centered the experiences of disabled workers interacting with AI-powered hiring tools and other digitized employment assessments and their possible impacts. Key findings include: * Participants reported accessibility challenges and biases in these assessment tools that suggest they can be discriminatory. * Participants doubted the assessments’ ability to test skills, as well as their relevance to actual positions. * Participants found many assessments to be cognitively and emotionally draining, often leading them to feel discouraged about pursuing job opportunities that might involve such tools. In addition to the findings, the report provides recommendations for reducing harm and promoting inclusivity in hiring practices that use or intend to use digitized assessments. We welcome any feedback and encourage you to share the report <https://cdt.org/insights/screened-out-the-impact-of-digitized-hiring-assessments-on-disabled-workers/> with others. Finally, a plain language version of the report will be available shortly. take care, Dhanaraj -- *Dhanaraj Thakur* (he/him) | Research Director Center for Democracy & Technology |*cdt.org <https://cdt.org/>* **dthakur@cdt.org | **+1 202 407 8849
