Our assessment methodologies are job-related, anchored to the US DOL O*NET framework, and designed to comply with California's FEHA automated-decision-system regulations and CPPA ADMT rules. They provide decision-support to human reviewers — never automated employment decisions — and evaluate workplace behavior, not medical, psychological, or neurological characteristics. We conduct documented anti-bias testing and assess only job-relevant criteria. Not legal advice.
