How do you know that all Indian- and Nigerian-born people would be unsuitable? If it's because experience tells you that most would not be able to do the job, then post the requirements and check that applicants are suitable. If OTOH it's because you don't want dark-skinned people, then that's illegal.Originally posted by Troll View PostSerious - time is tight - want a resource on board asap don't want a flood of unsuitable applicantsJob motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.Comment

Don't go dragging ethnicity into this! the criteria was UK born - not of non Indian extraction (UK born & bred Indians are OK - just the imports)Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostNo it doesn't.
