I do HR for a nonprofit with eleven staff. We don't have recruiters. We have me, half time, plus a program director who reads resumes between grant reports. When we posted an entry level coordinator role last year we got 340 applications in a week. Our screening tool cost less than our coffee budget and it meant every applicant got a consistent first read instead of me skimming at 11pm and unconsciously favoring the ones formatted like mine. A ban written with Fortune 500 vendors in mind lands hardest on organizations like ours, the ones that can't afford a hiring team. Fairness shouldn't be a luxury good that only big companies can buy with headcount.
