I doubt it.
They're not allowed to discriminate based on these things, but it doesn't mean they can't know them (though obviously they probably won't ask you as that's asking for trouble).
You can't discriminate based on age or gender in the UK (amongst many other things). But if they interview you (face to face at least), I think they'd probably have a fairly good idea of those, without asking you (or looking at your facebook profile).
- gaius 17y agoI interview people for my employer, and we're not even allowed to ask. It's impossible to tell - if you do ask someone their religion and then don't hire them, you'd better have some rock-solid paperwork to back you up (e.g. show their score on a standard list of questions is less than the candidate you did hire). That's just how it is.
- yangyang 17y agoSame for me. I'm pointing out that there are some things that you don't have to ask, you can tell by looking.
