I'd be really interested to hear the facts of the case. From the article, the only evidence of discrimination listed are that he was rejected despite:
1. A recruiter thought he would be a good fit
2. Working at several well-known companies (IBM, Compaq, and General Dynamics)
3. Only receiving a single phone interview
None of those seem like they'd be at all indicators of discrimination. Recruiters often say anything they can to get candidates through the door, companies regularly fail people at the first phone interview, and none of those companies are ones I'd necessarily associate with high-quality developers.
So, I look forward to seeing what else comes out of this story, since I can't imagine a decent law firm would go this far without some more damning evidence that will be forthcoming.
- jusben1369 11y agoI agree. Based on this article the individual case looks super weak. Sounds like the email was too spammy "We want YOU!" (we'll actually we just want you to put your hand up so we can then decide if we want you). It doesn't take a genius to look at a resume and see work history and college graduation to piece together if they're in their 30's/40's/50's etc.
