At least in Germany I'd be careful to use your project because a declined applicant could sue the company for age discrimination [1].
EDIT: I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I just would think about rephrasing the wording on your website e.g that you are looking for "geeks with at least 15 years of experience". IANAL but I guess that could be ok from legal view.

- germanier 10y agoI wouldn't be so sure (and very similar laws apply in the US and many other countries). The explicitly ask people to > Write something to encourage older applicants without discriminating against younger ones It's not so different from encouraging women to apply which is commonly found. But obviously people could still sue and maybe you wouldn't want to fight that battle.

- johnwheeler 10y agoSeems like it's all probably OK https://fairygodboss.com/ https://fairygodboss.com/ https://www.jopwell.com/ https://www.jopwell.com/ As I get further along I'll research the specifics. I'd want anyone to be able to apply to any of the jobs. The idea is employers post knowing older candidates will apply, which makes the older candidates feel safe applying.
