Applicants first submit their resumes, which are scanned for certain educational requirements (including top 10 university degrees) and key phrases. Then those applicants that pass the initial screening take an onlinetechnologytest that is timed to see how many answers they get correct within a short time frame. Those that pass this test are contacted for a group online interview using Google Hangouts and a few company robotsthatask a series of questions from one of five possible question lists. After this third screening, they are contacted by an automated HRmessageto have an individual interview by an actual HR person, and subsequently a group interview by several actual managers and a robot during the same day of theindividualinterview. Finally, themanagers make a decision and submit it to the HR department that then makes an offer of employment to the selected candidate.

I wasn't sure what laws they violated in their hiring process and what they did wrong, i was hoping you can help me figure it out. Thanks.
