Correct

To do this I think most companies are happy writing "4 year degree required" even when its clearly not, because: * it shifts any disparate impact claims onto another entity * terrible/funny plus that instead of hiring departments paying for it, they make the employee pay for it!

If you could devise a system like that, which crucially shifts the blame of any complaints lodged at it, then you might have gold!

Yep, the definition of goldmine is "a lot of people/businesses would really want that" + "that'd be very difficult to pull off"

I think the risk you run is that the Supreme Court deciding (especially if this -succeeded- which a 'goldmine' would by definition) "Nope, this is still adverse impact".

I still think I haven't made my point — the Supreme Court CAN'T do that until there are extant legal grounds for someone to sue a LinkedInesque product for consensually hosting applicants' info

If the goal is to bring it to the Supreme Court, that's not a terrible goal--as long as people realize it may very well not get the desired outcome.
