hiring discrimination
Unfair recruitment practices
Hiring discrimination is the practice of making employment decisions based on characteristics unrelated to job performance—race, gender, age, disability, religion, or sexual orientation.
It may be overt (We don't hire women for sales positions) or subtle, appearing in patterns of who gets interviews or callbacks.
Laws prohibit it, but proving intent is often difficult.
