I actually thought that line was a joke when I first read it. "We don't hire non-citizens, Hispanic people, or anyone over 30" sounds a lot worse than "we evaluate candidates according to an algorithm trained to predict work performance."
- cannonedhamster 7y agoBefore tech I did a stint in recruiting. We had a client demand only "white sounding" names. We ignored that and provided any qualified candidate. They complained because they mistook the recruiters name for an applicant. We fired that client the same week. It was a truly disgusting thing to be asked and I'm glad my company made the right call. Any future client that asked that was immediate grounds for client dismissal, i.e. didn't require management approval.
