AI has infiltrated the hiring process. As we noted in our blog post “The Resume Black Hole” most employers are using applicant tracking systems to scan your submitted documents. Job search platforms like LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, and Monster all use language-processing AI tools to filter applications. In fact, the CEO of ZipRecruiter estimated that AI algorithms process at least 75% of all resume applications in the United States.

In October 2020, Maryland’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Law started requiring employers to provide a wage range for a position upon a job applicant’s request, meaning it often wasn’t stated in the job ad but could be provided.  The law prohibits employers from retaliating against applicants based on the request.
