Yeah but you're not sitting on the Supreme Court.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, here...? I don't believe there are any legal grounds to rest on if you're providing information about applicants with their consent, LinkedIn-style.

The Supreme Court decided in 1971 that requiring job applicants to take IQ tests (or any test that can't be shown to measure skill related to the job) violated Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. To sell such a product is to sell someone a minefield. None would buy!

Using it would be too risky for a company to want to use in any overt capacity, so I don't think it would sell well.

I'm making a statement of prediction, not of surety, but I believe that a company making hiring decisions based on a test that shows adverse impact would be risky unless the company explicitly anti-weighted the adverse impact of the test.

The thing about legal grounds is they can make a new one if you find a 'bug' in the system against their intended outcome.
