Additional Considerations

FDM utilizes two ‘Automated Employment Decision Tools’ (AEDTs) to assist in evaluating candidates for its Career Development Program. Compliant with New York law, both vendors providing the AEDT have conducted a bias audit of their product, the results of which are contained here and here. Please note that FDM has used Vervoe since December 2023 and Arctic Shores since May 2024. If you wish to be assessed without the use of either AEDT, you can request an alternative assessment method from your assigned recruiter at the beginning of the recruitment process.

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.
