Additional Considerations

FDM utilizes an ‘Automated Employment Decision Tool’ (AEDT) to assist in evaluating candidates for its Career Development Program. Compliant with New York law, the vendor providing the AEDT, Vervoe, has conducted a biased audit of their product, the results of which are contained here. If you wish to be assessed without the use of an AEDT, you can request an alternative assessment method from your assigned recruiter at the beginning of the recruitment process.

FDM Group, Inc. is registered to operate and hire employees in select states within the US. We will consider employment applications exclusively from candidates who are either residing in one of the following states or willing to relocate to them: Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
