Should employers really be asking about mental health history during the hiring process?
- mpclark 7y agoOf course, if the job involves risks to mental health!
- cloakandswagger 7y agoQueue up the next Verge article in 6 months: "Facebook discriminates on the basis of mental health"
- SomeOldThrow 7y agoI mean they really should be in this case. This is not a normal job.
- bena 7y agoThe real solution is that they present the reality of the job and let the candidate make the decision to proceed or not. That way the company presented the job as is. And if the candidate takes the job, they own some of the responsibility for the consequences.
- SomeOldThrow 7y agoI can certainly agree with that.
- mhh__ 7y ago> Should employers really be asking about mental health history during the hiring process? There should be some disclosure of potential mental health risks in the job description. no? i.e. Screening for this at a later stage in the hiring process would be reasonable (No idea on the legality, however)
- noisy_boy 7y agoMaybe they should have checked his Facebook history. My decision to delete my account from this toxic spider web of a platform is affirmed regularly by the frequent revelations of their immoral behavior.
