Why do you ask the applicant's father's job when recruiting?

The Human Resources Department may ask the applicant's parents about their work for the following reasons:

1. Understanding the family background: By understanding the work situation of the applicant's parents, you can better understand the applicant's family background, help HR fully understand the applicant's growth experience and personal background, and also choose the right talents on the premise of ensuring the matching of corporate culture and employee background.

2. Explore the applicant's self-introduction: In the self-introduction stage, it is a common method to mention one's parents' occupation. Asking about family background can stimulate candidates to express and discuss their family and growth environment.

3. Consider employee stability: By understanding the applicant's family background, HR can understand the applicant's family situation and family support system, and then infer the applicant's stability and reliability. If the applicant's family is relatively stable and his parents' jobs are relatively stable, then the applicant's stability may be stronger.

However, it should be noted that HR's request for information about the applicant's parents' work is the need to explore and fully understand the family background and the applicant, and will not directly or indirectly discriminate and exclude the selection based on factors such as race, religion and nationality.
