I think a worse feature for them to have is consistency. Imagine being someone that has fallen through the cracks of software a significant number of employers are using... Basically soft-locked out of employment with no recourse.

I'd argue consistency in discrimination is easier because it makes it easier to detect and account for.

A range of different people interviewing are going to be alot harder to pin down.

Discrimination in this sense is a statistical property. If Jimbob gets rejected everywhere as an individual it isn't really discrimination but that doesn't mean it isn't an issue.
