I've had this recently in the UK where the client is Capita, who do insist on it.
- blunte 10y agoAnd just like companies that insist on using the truly horrible painful Taleo system for their job interface, I just say "NEXT" and find a better opportunity.
- sofaofthedamned 10y agoA million times yes! Especially when you can't right-click a job into another tab. Where do they find these people, and who keeps paying them?!
- walshemj 10y agoDid they ask for NI no as well?
- sofaofthedamned 10y agoVery good. To clarify - they wanted the last 4 digits of my NI number (in one case they asked for the entire thing) as well as DOB. In one instance the agency asked for the full NI number, probably because it's easier to ask/parse than the last 4 chars for some people, not due to Capita requirements.
- DanBC 10y agoAre there any public examples of this? I'd be interested in taking it forward to regulators. The tiny bit of searching I've done so far have Capita including text similar to "We're an equal opportunities employer". I know a couple of politicians who'd be interested too.
- sofaofthedamned 10y agoTo clarify - this was for contract positions, i've no idea whether it's the same for perm. It's hard to see online as it's the recruitment agency who ask for it as they have to then input it into Capita's systems. But certainly any contract role for a government agency in Blackpool is likely to be the DWP, they recruit through Capita who definitely have this requirement.
