> As a result of the ruling, notice will be issued to the allegedly affected job applicants, in what could be one of the largest collectives ever certified. In filings, Workday represented that “1.1 billion applications were rejected” using its software tools during the relevant period, and so the collective could potentially include “hundreds of millions” of members.

I hope we find out how many it is. If it truly is hundreds of millions, then we’re talking about less than 5 or 6 applications per person, on average, right? But we’ve been told that tools allow people to apply to hundreds of jobs quickly.
