You'll just get discrimination based on proxies for criminal background instead (poverty, suspicious gaps in employment, zip code).

- LorenPechtel 5y agoI'd like to see some of those proxies removed from the picture. 1) Employment history: Ban putting dates on a resume and in general make it a prohibited question. You worked there X years, not from YYYY to ZZZZ. The current approach is obviously looking for whether you were fired, but ends up tainting you if you're ever laid off in a bad market, or even if you simply chose non-employment activity for some reason. 2) Address likewise should be removed. Phone & e-mail is all they need.
