I wonder how long until the headshot photo requirement is finally put to rest. The only use I've seen for it is a bunch of guys ogling over female CVs, basically trying to hire the prettiest or least ugliest candidates; actual qualifications be damned.
- vowelless 14y agoI learnt about this practice from my girlfriend who is from France and was quite surprised by it. She, on the other hand, was surprised by the American practice of asking about race and ethnicity on various official forms.
- yardie 14y agoThis. One policy is voluntary and is to ensure companies aren't racially discriminating during the hiring process. The other sort of puts you all out there and there has been lots of news made about reducing discrimination by removing photos, names, and addresses so hiring managers can only focus on your qualifications. As an american I sort of prefer the American method. The checkbox means ethnicity is measured so you have a metric. The french system sort of assumes equality (it's in their motto!). With plausible deniability you can say you don't discriminate and no one can argue against it.
