An employer decision made with AI

Step 1 of 5

Write down what happened

Do this while you still remember the details. Fill in what you know and leave the rest empty. None of this leaves your browser.

Step 2 of 5

Gather your documents

Gather in one place, on paper or in one folder on your phone:

• the job advert or the description of the position;
• your application, your CV and the confirmation that you sent them;
• the whole message with the refusal, review, schedule or notice of dismissal;
• tests, questionnaires and recordings you completed or made. Note which ones they were;
• your contract, the work rules and other letters from the employer;
• emails and messages in apps, including those from the HR department;
• screenshots of the panel, app or system that show results, ratings or a schedule.

Make copies. Keep the originals for yourself. Collect only what you received or what you normally have access to.

Step 3 of 5

Check the deadlines

Check whether the letters you received say what you can do and how soon. Note every date in your calendar. This step matters, because being late can close the way to appeal. Do not wait for our reply.

Step 4 of 5

Ask the employer about the role of the system

You can ask the employer whether it used an automated system and what that system did. Below is a ready draft of the letter. It fills itself in from what you typed in step 1.

Write to us

The foundation studies how AI systems treat people. Your story can help us understand the problem, even if today we cannot take on your case.

Your mail program will open with the draft. You will see it before it is sent. You can change or delete it.
