Is it reasonable to ask for singles in recruitment?

Is it reasonable for enterprises to ask for singles in the recruitment process?

Generally speaking, it is not entirely reasonable for companies to require recruiters to be single. According to the Labor Law, enterprises can't take any actions that discriminate against workers in the recruitment process, because it will violate the basic rights of workers. From this perspective, it is unreasonable for enterprises to ask recruiters to be single or not, which violates the basic rights of workers to some extent.

On the other hand, when recruiting new employees, enterprises do not fully understand the situation of the recruiter, such as whether they have marital status and family status, which leads to the inability of enterprises to accurately determine the qualifications of interviewers during the recruitment process. Requiring recruiters to be single can minimize the uncertainty in the recruitment process and enable enterprises to select more effectively, but it may also bring discrimination, so it remains to be discussed.

In a word, whether it is reasonable for enterprises to ask recruiters to be single or not in the recruitment process is actually open to question. On the one hand, this will enable enterprises to select talents more effectively; On the other hand, it may cause unnecessary discrimination and infringe upon the basic rights of workers. Therefore, in the recruitment process, enterprises should not only consider the qualification confirmation of recruiters, but also pay attention to the protection of their own rights and interests to avoid discrimination. Therefore, from a legal point of view, it is unreasonable for an enterprise to ask only whether the recruiter is single during the recruitment process.
