In March 2023, a recruiter for Arthur Grand Technologies posted a job advertisement looking for ‘US Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates]’
A tech company in Virginia has been fined thousands of dollars by the Justice Department over a job advert seeking “whites only” candidates.
In March 2023, a recruiter for Arthur Grand Technologies, an information technology services firm based in Ashburn, posted a job advertisement on the recruitment website Indeed for a business analyst for the company’s sales and insurance claims team.
The job posting said that the company was looking for “US Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates]”, according to the DOJ.
You must log in or register to comment.
Meanwhile, the company denied it had approved the posting and blamed a disgruntled employee working for its subsidiary in India.
“It wasn’t our fault, it was the dark-skinned guy’s fault” is an interesting way to try to excuse your white racism…
Considering it said “[Don’t share with candidates]” and allegedly the Indian employee is the one who shared it with candidates, I think I can guess what he was righteously “disgruntled” about!
The article says the post was made by an employee in India. Seems like a cultural misunderstanding.

Those are square brackets not parentheses

I do know what you mean and I know there’s some weird British vs American English thing where sometimes parentheses are called brackets or something.

“Thousands of dollars” in fines is orders of magnitude too low.
Edit: also, what the actual fuck:
Under the arrangement, Arthur Grand will pay a civil penalty of $7,500, along with a total of $31,000 to 31 people who complained about the posting. The company — which is minority-owned and a federal contractor designated a disadvantaged business — will also be monitored to ensure compliance with anti-discrimination laws.
That company should’ve instantly lost those “disadvantaged business” and “Federal contractor” designations permanently!
You’re neglecting how they got those contracts to begin with.

When you want whites only, it is racist and you get sued, but when you want non-whites only, it is not racist and no one gets sued? This is a double standard.Tell me you’re not a straight white guy without telling me you’re a straight white guy.

Can we please:
A) stop allowing companies to settle with the “while not admitting any wrong doing”
B) stop fining companies finger slaps, not even hand slaps? Make fines depend on their annual revenue and see how fast they’ll behave
C) start requiring companies to divulge the parson who is the source of said wrong doing, and the person who signed off on wrong doing, and prosecute these persons also individually from the company, criminally if need be
This way, companies will start behaving a lot faster, or, you know, at all.
Right now you know that this company will still hire a white dude even though they’re not saying it again in the ad.
Sir that would mean rich people would be held accountable and we just can’t have that kind of talk around here
I know, right?
We can’t even hire WHITE PEOPLE now? I TOLD YOU Whites were being hated just because of our SKIN COLOR! And I’m TOTALLY NOT RACIST!
Rookie mistake. You’re not supposed to say the quiet part out loud.
