Why do many companies like to ask these questions when recruiting?

Little Z, 25 years old, is a fresh master's student this year. He sees his graduation day approaching day by day, but his job has not yet been finalized. Thinking about his job hunting experience over the past year or so, Xiao Z can be said to have mixed feelings.

Little L, 28 years old, graduated with a master's degree 2 years ago. Since it was not easy to find a job when he graduated, he ended up working for a company that was not suitable for his major. Thinking about it, his major has been abandoned for many years. Xiao L decided to return to his major and find a job.

It is a long road to find a job, and Unlike what they expected, they encountered all kinds of discrimination during this period.

1. Gender

Gender discrimination is the most common among girls majoring in science and engineering, like little Z above, who studied mechanical manufacturing. Many companies do not hire girls, and the chance of an interview is almost zero.

2. Marital and childbearing status

If you are an older unmarried woman, or married with no children, you will definitely be asked the following questions during the interview (these are not available abroad. , are considered illegal, but in China, it is normal)

1. Do you have a boyfriend? How many years have you been dating? How did you meet? How do you plan for your future life? ——Determine the stability of your relationship, your marriage plans, and the possibility of having children after joining the job.

2. How many years have you been married? What's your job, sir? How did you meet? How do both parents view fertility issues? ——Is this still recruitment? This has something to do with my ability to work.

3. Is it a boy or a girl now? Do you have any plans to have a second child?

3. Blood type

Blood type is highly praised by many HRs. They believe that it is very accurate to judge a person's personality through blood type.

Type A: Black bile, generally introverted, good at thinking, and pessimistic.

Type B: sanguine, outgoing, eloquent, optimistic and positive.

Type AB: Phlegmatic, introverted personality, dislikes group activities, likes to be alone and watch, and sees things mostly negatively.

Type O: Yellow bile, extroverted, action-oriented, good executive ability, optimistic.

People live in society, and their personality will actually change according to various factors such as their environment and age. Therefore, there is no necessary connection between blood type and personality. It can only be used as a reference and must not be used. To judge the personality traits of candidates.

4. Constellation

Some bad HR people like to ask candidates about their zodiac sign during interviews to judge the candidate’s personality. In fact, this is just a game of probability. If a person's character and temperament could be simply determined through the zodiac sign, there wouldn't be so many cases of choosing the wrong person or dating the wrong person. Therefore, if you are still using astrology as an auxiliary tool for your own recruitment, it is really OUT.

5. Educational qualifications

Nowadays, academic qualifications discrimination no longer only stops at the junior college, undergraduate, and master’s levels, but also extends to the institutions of graduation. I don’t know since when, 985, 211, unified recruitment and unified points have become indispensable vocabulary in everyone’s JD. Lao Qiang personally believes that this is the consequence of the drastic expansion of enrollment, and the quality of students is really worse than the previous one.

6. Region (native place)

If you are from Henan, you may be a candidate that many companies do not hire. You may think that I, a Henan native, have offended someone. Henan is a large province in China and the most populous region, so we hear more negative information about Henan people. Lao Qiang wants to say, don't kill a whole boatload of people with one stroke. There are excellent people in every region, and there are also people who make mistakes.

7. Appearance

Height is also a very important indicator in job hunting, especially for some positions such as front desk, administration or public relations, which require height, and even worse, There is also a requirement for weight, or a requirement not to have single eyelids.

8. Zodiac signs

Generally, bosses who care about zodiac signs are mostly believers in theology or Buddhism. They are very concerned about Feng Shui and pay more attention to whether the zodiac signs match.

In addition to the above discrimination, there are also various types of discrimination such as ethnicity and health (hepatitis B), which are used by companies in talent selection. Equal employment and treating everyone equally is the social responsibility of every enterprise. In the long run, these discriminations in the selection of talents by enterprises are not conducive to the development of enterprises.

When selecting talents, we should pay more attention to personal qualities, learning ability, creativity and initiative, and not miss out on outstanding talents due to prejudice.
