Why do recruiters ask candidates to provide family background information?

In some recruitment processes, recruiters may ask candidates to provide family background information, including parents' work situation, because the work scale and work experience are usually closely related to personal growth and personality development, and parents' work situation, as an important family resource, may affect candidates' growth and experience in family education, social background, good education and safe and stable living environment, and may also affect their understanding and preparation for career development.

In addition, understanding the family background can also help recruiters to fully understand the difficulties and challenges faced by candidates, so as to better help them integrate into the new professional environment and contribute to the welfare of the company.

It should be noted that although family background information may be asked in the recruitment process, employers should not discriminate in any way based on race, religion, gender, age, nationality, family background, etc. Therefore, you should pay attention to avoid too private and sensitive information when answering such questions.
