On September 9th, a news item "Recruitment should not restrict male or male priority" appeared on the hot search, but in reality, there is not only gender discrimination, but also other discrimination, including age and region. Faced with this discrimination in recruitment, the interviewer feels very tired and at a loss. This article shares some stories about people in the workplace who encounter "recruitment discrimination". Let's have a look.

On September 9, a message that "recruitment must not restrict male or male priority" was posted on the hot search.

This provision is quoted from the National Human Rights Action Plan (202 1-2025) issued by the State Council Press Office. The plan clearly stipulates that in the recruitment process, unless otherwise stipulated by the state, the employer shall not restrict men or give priority to men.

However, there is not only gender discrimination in the real workplace environment, but also various kinds of discrimination such as education, age, region and even accent and professional background. As an interviewer, it will be a challenge to defend your rights and even get rid of prejudice.

Deep burning talked with six professionals who had encountered "recruitment discrimination". Some women are required to "get pregnant after one year of employment" because they have reached the age of pregnancy. When she gives birth to a child, HR will focus on whether she has a "second child plan"; Some people were treated arrogantly by HR because they were born in a "small factory", but after HR learned that he was taken away by another big factory, his attitude immediately turned 180 degrees; Others were spit out that the Hunan accent did not conform to the elite temperament and were brainwashed by the leaders that "Beijingers are too lazy."

The following is their story.

First, it is more difficult to find a job after giving birth than to be married and not pregnant.

Xu Ying | 32 years old, marketing manager of an enterprise.

I just got married at the age of 29 and plan to change jobs soon. At that time, I interviewed many companies, and 80% of them would ask me questions about fertility.

Once the other person asks questions like "Are you married" and "When are you going to have children", I know that I may get stuck because I am married and not pregnant. Another company clearly told me that I wanted to get pregnant after I joined the company for one year, and the two sides had to reach an oral "gentleman's agreement".

I also understand that it is possible for women to delay their work because of fertility problems, but it is uncomfortable to stipulate when to get pregnant.

Later, when I met two ideal jobs, when the other party didn't ask about fertility during the interview, I would directly tell the "risk" of being married and not refusing to give birth.

However, before changing jobs, I got pregnant unexpectedly, and the original job-hopping plan fell through. Last year, when the baby was older, I started looking for a job again.

Unexpectedly, when I was looking for a job this time, the situation was even more serious. Not only will I be asked about a baby, but I will also be asked about the second child plan. In addition, at that time, because the epidemic environment was not very good, there would be more problems in HR.

What impressed me most was that I went to a company for an interview, and the other HR kept asking me, "How old is the baby?" "Is it a mother-in-law or a mother?" "Why didn't you find an aunt?" "Is the family relationship harmonious?" ... asking in detail makes me feel that these questions have crossed the line and are spying on privacy. Although I was very uncomfortable, I still tried to answer the question. After all, my industry circle is too small. If I turn on the spot, it will be even more embarrassing to meet you in the future.

Not only that, I know very well that if I change jobs in the next few years, the "second child problem" will always exist. But I communicated with my husband and found that even if we have a baby, when he is interviewing for a job, HR will never ask him such a question as "Who will take the children at home?"

In fact, before giving birth to children, I have found that men and women will face gender differences when looking for jobs. In my profession, there are many women and relatively few men, just like my art student exam. At that time, there were more girls than boys, but the enrollment ratio of the school was 1: 1, which means that boys would have a greater advantage.

It's the same now. I found that many companies give priority to men when there is little difference between men and women in their work level, but I can't change this problem and I have to accept it.
