Why does the company only recruit single people?

The company requires job seekers to be single, which constitutes employment discrimination, differential treatment of job seekers, and infringes upon job seekers’ equal employment rights.

1. Companies want to recruit single employees because they are worried about taking maternity leave

From the perspective of corporate managers or HR, many people’s expectation is that after employees join the company, You can devote your time to work continuously. But once employees are married before joining the job, they often have some worries. There are several types of situations that need to be distinguished here: Situation 1. Married female employees may be a more sensitive applicant group for company recruiters, because married female employees with no children may have children and take maternity leave as soon as they join the job. . And these female employees who are married and have children may also have two children. Moreover, after giving birth to children, female employees usually spend a lot of time at home and with their children. Recruiters are worried about how much they can focus on work. Situation 2: Married male workers Although male workers do not take maternity leave, they still have the right to control paternity leave. Moreover, after some male workers become fathers, they will also invest part of their time and energy in stabilizing their families. Therefore, for companies with an already younger workforce, they are more willing to recruit single young men and women.

2. The company can allocate a large amount of overtime when recruiting single employees

A big difference between single employees and married employees is the "duration playability". For married workers, once they have established a family, especially after having children, they will focus more on returning home to spend time with their families after get off work. For example, I have a colleague who is very punctual when he gets off work every day and rarely wants to actively work overtime in the company to achieve his goals. Even if you really have to work overtime, you will know whether the leading cadres can take the homework back and solve it. For single workers, they do not have the pressure of family, and their time alone is more casual. As long as they are not in love after work, they may be willing to invest most of their time in work. On the one hand, I can earn some overtime pay every day, and on the other hand, I can learn more while I am young. The differences between the above two categories of groups also promote a certain tendency in recruitment when selecting talents.

3. Single workers are getting younger

Most single workers in the workplace are young people in their 20s and 30s. They have either just graduated or are Graduated from college not long ago. Of course, we do not rule out the older unmarried single men and women in some cities, but judging from the overall number, the majority are still young people in their 20s. Companies like to recruit single employees mainly because young people are easy to shape and have greater development prospects. Rather than spending higher salary costs to recruit married professional seniors, it is better to absorb some future blue chip stocks at lower salary costs. This may be something in the subconscious minds of corporate managers, but they may not always be clearly stated to applicants.
