Is it legal for the company to recruit only single women?

According to public reports, many job seekers said that there is no personal privacy when looking for a job, and many enterprises have no sense of boundaries, and their questions are "endless". However, some human resources managers also said that this is to estimate the labor cost of enterprises to ensure that the recruiters work efficiently.

According to the Labor Contract Law and other relevant regulations, the employer has the right to know the basic information directly related to the labor contract, and the employee shall truthfully explain it. However, the employer's right to know is limited to "basic information directly related to the labor contract", which generally includes health status, knowledge and skills, education, professional qualifications, work experience and so on. However, personal privacy such as whether a worker is married and has children, whether he needs to support the elderly, whether buying a house is a loan or full payment does not belong to the employer's right to know.

Experts said that employers should consider job seekers in terms of professionalism and ability when recruiting. If the post setting is clear, the work content and responsibilities are clear, and there is a relatively objective and perfect quantitative assessment mechanism, it is not necessary to make a pre-judgment by asking the personal privacy of the candidate.

Comment: What is normal if it is openly illegal?

The Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests in People's Republic of China (PRC) clearly stipulates that in the recruitment process, the employer shall not further inquire or investigate the marriage and childbearing situation of female job seekers except personal basic information, and shall not take marriage and childbearing restrictions or marriage and childbearing status as employment conditions. The company requires female job seekers to be single and claims that this requirement is normal. This behavior is a blatant violation of the law. He said he would consider prosecution, not introspection. This kind of behavior of ignoring the law and beating around the bush is called legal ignorance.
