Recruiting

[Troll]

Cant you use the names as a filter?

Steven Smith - OK
Abhijit Chandrasekhara - Filter

The Okobokobumbas have been wise to that one for some years & have anglised their surnames to come in under the radar

No. You need to make clear what you need people to be able to do.

What particular capability do you require that you don't feel a foreign born person might have?

first one not to read the requirement correctly and scream racist loses!

I believe that I did read the requirement (I didn't say Indian), and I didn'r "scream racist", I pointed out that certain criteria would be legally forbidden. I didn't say that makes you racist. My point was rather that if you have non-racist criteria, you must use those real criteria and not a short-cut that is in itself racially based.

Can't you say "Applicants must be of Ayran race, have a healthy distrust of all things Jewish and aspire to World domination."

Serious - time is tight - want a resource on board asap don't want a flood of unsuitable applicants

In that case it's not "must be British" but "must not be useless" you want to stipulate. Most UK applications will be crap too.

Also, do Bobs apply directly? Don't the stereotyped ones come through external suppliers as part of a team?

I think the Asian candidates have other things on their mind.

I don't think they are same ones that we see day after day outputting bad code/support/testing.

They may object to the deployment of burning crosses and lynchings of darkies.
