Does the company interview ask about family background?

During the interview, the recruiter may ask some personal information questions, such as family background, including parents' occupation, for the following reasons:

Understand personal background: Asking parents' occupation can help employers understand the candidate's family background. Family background may have an impact on the personality, values and work attitude of the candidate, which is helpful for the employer to evaluate whether the candidate conforms to the corporate culture and can adapt to the working environment.

Measuring social background: Employers may also measure the social background and socioeconomic status of candidates by knowing their family background. This may be related to recruitment standards, company culture and employee composition.

Career planning: In some interviews, the employer may know the career planning of the candidate according to his family background. For example, children whose parents are doctors or lawyers are more likely to want to develop in the same field, while children without relevant background may be more interested and motivated to explore different fields.

It should be noted that respondents should request personal information for legitimate purposes and should not discriminate against or infringe on personal privacy. If the interviewer doesn't want to answer questions, he can politely respond that he doesn't want to disclose this information, and put forward his enthusiasm for the position and relevant work experience and skills.
