A US tech firm is catching flak for placing a discriminatory job ad requiring not only for native-born U.S. citizens to apply, but that they are looking for "whites." The company, which attributed this job ad to a recruiter based in India, agreed to a federal settlement to resolve the issue.
On Thursday, the Justice Department announced that Arthur Grand, a government contracting firm specialising in I.T. services, had settled a discriminatory job posting case. In addition to a $7,500 civil penalty, Arthur Grand will pay $31,000 to the 31 individuals who filed complaints about the discriminatory job posting.
