[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you are interviewing applicants do you take into consideration things that you’re not technically allowed to consider? Like for example the fact that a woman just got married at 35 and is probably going to have children soon and therefore either taking maternity leave or quitting to stay home? Or someone highly qualified has dyed pink hair and therefore may turn off your conservative clients? Just examples. Anonymous forum here so curious about what decision makers are really thinking, especially small business owners where the one hiring is also the one most invested in the success of the company.[/quote]

Tell me you’re a boomer without telling me…[/quote]

Wrong.

And Google brings up a lot of stuff, including the [b]applicant’s Knot wedding page[/b].[/quote]

Well thank god this board is anonymous bc basing a hiring decision on this, is f’ing illegal. But. You already know that don’t you OP.[/quote]

That doesn’t mean people don’t Google job applicants.[/quote]

No one is stopping you from google. Go Google until your fingers fall off. But Basing a hiring decision on a wedding date and making HUGE assumptions about pregnancy are ILLEGAL. You have no idea what the applicant’s plans are for starting a family, or if she even wants one. If she does start a family, you have no idea about how quickly she might want to return to the office, maybe she has an incredibly supportive family surrounding her and child care will not be an issue, maybe her spouse works from home or has the option to.  If you’re not a boomer, you are literally the most ignorant gen x or millennial around, literally the poster child of what is Still wrong with business in America. But whatever people like you aren’t actually going to listen to reason or law, you simply wanted validation for your biases, didn’t you OP, so go hire your mini me 30 year Caucasian white male even if the female talent pool can run circles around him (and you know this too cuz you wouldn’t have posted if you didn’t have that lingering in the back of your mind)[/quote]
