Since August 2021 and currently, we use Suited Assessment (which may be considered an automated employment decision tool) as a part of our attorney candidate evaluation and recruitment process to expand our consideration of candidates beyond traditional hiring metrics. Information on what is measured by the assessment (including job qualifications and characteristics), the type and source of data collected, Suited’s data retention policies, and how to request a reasonable accommodation may be found here.  For information about Wilson Sonsini’s data retention policy, with regard to reports generated by Suited Assessment, please provide a written request to Attorney Recruiting who will provide such information within 30 days of the request.  Completing the Suited assessment is a suggested part of our recruiting process; however, should you believe that you require an alternative selection procedure, need help with an accommodation, or choose not to complete the assessment, please email Attorney Recruiting at attorneyrecruiting@wsgr.com.
