ZipRecruiter has some automated surveys that inadvertently require the applicant to disclose their race and ethnicity even though they provide the checkbox to opt out.

    It’s not inadvertent. Businesses can collect aggregate statistics on race, disability, and veteran status as part of the application process. The responses are anonymized and not visible to hiring managers (except for veteran status, which may be used to provide a positive bias towards veterans for certain roles).

        Of course anybody can break the rules if they choose.
