Ask HN: Is your online presence costing you the job?

6 pointsftrflyr2 comments

Employers can quickly search for applicants online, and if they don't fit within their hiring "diversity inclusion" protocols, they receive a rejection notice.

Are online profiles just an easy way for employers to quickly discriminate against those who do not fit their current hiring practices? Does anyone else think this problem?

This is why I dislike anti-discrimination laws. I suggest a compromise to only include certain kinds of jobs like manual labor under employment anti-discrimination laws, where workers are actually commodities that are measureable and interchangeable.
