Especially when that person is a manager and knows the laws about discrimination. my last job had lots of this kind of thing and it really sucked.

And I can only hope that this HR Director is immediately fired because they obviously are not capable of doing that job. I have to say that I am astounded and appalled by this.

I can be fired for complying with a discriminatory job order. On one hand, of course this is a smart business decision- if you aren't discriminating, it's a lot harder to be sued successfully for discrimination. But in context, it's part of a much larger body of internal policies that all add up to a real commitment to ethical treatment of talent simply because it's the right thing to do.

Wish other recruiters would behave as ethically. I have heard horror storied from recruiters directly who will say that they have no qualms in discriminating against candidates if that should be the what the client requests.. So I will say again 3 Cheers to you guys! Karen interesting post, you guys handled that well.. my hats off to you.. Wish other recruiters would behave as ethically.
