  • Don't "Self-Select" Out: If a job description has a requirement that feels like a "hidden" barrier to your disability, gender, or race, the law might be on your side.
  • The "Necessary" Test: An employer can only demand a specific qualification if it is absolutely essential to do the work. If you can do the job without it, that requirement is legally shaky.
  • WRC is Watching AI: As more companies use automated "CV screeners," the WRC is becoming more aggressive in punishing companies whose "filters" accidentally discriminate.
