The Justice Department fined a Virginia tech company that posted an online recruitment ad that sought only white applicants but notes that the information shouldn’t be “share[d] with candidates,” WTOP in Washington, DC reports.
As it posted on Indeed and other online recruitment sites, Arthur Grand Technologies sought “only US Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates].” That’s how they wrote it, bracketed text and all, according to the DOJ’s press release announcing the outcome. Currently with around 160 employees of unknown hues, Arthur Grand also vows to provide further training for their employees, particularly in the human resources department, who should already know better.
