Why do companies require candidates to be unmarried when recruiting?

It is reasonable for enterprises, but unreasonable for our applicants. The rules are made by enterprises.

Enterprises want to recruit unmarried employees because they are worried about maternity leave.

From the perspective of enterprise managers or HR, many people's inner expectation is that employees can continue to devote their time to their work after they join the company.

However, once employees get married before joining the company, they often have some concerns.

There are several situations that need to be distinguished here:

Situation 1: married female employees

This may be the most sensitive job-hunting group for employers, because married childless female employees may have children and take maternity leave as soon as they join the company.

And those married women workers who have given birth may also have a second child.

Moreover, after giving birth to children, female employees tend to put a lot of energy on their families and children, and how much attention they can pay to their work is also a concern of recruiters.

Situation 2: Married male employees

Although male employees do not talk about maternity leave, they also have the right to paternity leave.

Moreover, after being promoted to father, some male employees will devote part of their energy to balancing their families.

Therefore, enterprises with young employees are more willing to recruit unmarried young men and women.

A big difference between unmarried employees and married employees is "time freedom".

For married employees, once they have a family, especially after having children, they will be more inclined to go home from work to accompany their families.

For example, a female colleague of mine leaves work on time every day and is rarely willing to take the initiative to work overtime in the company to complete the task. Even if you really have to work overtime, you will ask the leader if you can take the work home to deal with it.

For unmarried employees, there is no family burden and time is relatively free. If they don't talk about their partners after work, they are basically willing to devote their time to work.

On the one hand, you can earn overtime pay, on the other hand, you can learn more while you are young.

The difference between the above two types of people
