[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HYP grad here. I almost always reject HYP grads when they apply to my company - we tend to hire 1-3 years out of undergrad and that cadre from HYP tend to expect much higher comp and more comp increases along the way. In short, they are more of an HR pain in the arse.

Our best hires always are the striving kids, top 10-20% of their classes from T60-T300 schools.

Yes I realize the irony of this....entirely

So you discriminate. Nice.[/quote]

College name is not a protected class.[/quote]

Sure, I'm not talking legally--more on an ethical basis. You've got a lot of biases in my opinion--I think it's better to treat people as individuals and judge them on their own merits not my own personal biased history.[/quote]

Who said this person chucked the application before interviewing them and discovering they were not a good fit? They said that almost all HYP applicants get rejected - not that they were never considered.[/quote]

They said it was on the basis that they think they would be an "HR pain in the ass" which is not knowable from an interview.  You don't even know comp requests unless you offer the position.  So they are likely basing in on bias.[/quote]
