Two candidates visited my office two days ago to submit their applications for the position of a health assistant. I had the honor of taking part in the interviews with them.After the interview, the candidate did very well, but the CMD chose to hire the male candidate because of his physical strength and height as the best contender for the position.He didn't even give the female applicant a chance to demonstrate her qualifications.What do you think about this?
I’m a firm believer that the job should always go to the best candidate. I have found over the last 20 years or so that companies seem to want to hit quotas, so many women, so many disabled, so many black, asian employees etc. The job should go to the best qualified, best candidate for the job every time. There should never he anything else to the decision to employ somebody.
