Firm CANNOT advertise for reliable workers !
When will the PC brigade let up ??????? Isn't this verging on the stupid ?
When it comes to hiring staff, there are plenty of legal pitfalls employers need to watch out for these days.
So recruitment agency boss Nicole Mamo was especially careful to ensure her advert for hospital workers did not offend on grounds of race, age or sexual orientation.
However, she hadn't reckoned on discriminating against a wholly different section of the community - the completely useless.
Nicole Mamo, director of Devonwood Recruitment was stunned when a job centre in Thetford, Norfolk, said she could not include the phrase 'reliable and hard working' in her advert because it could be offensive to unreliable people.
'In my 15 years in recruitment I haven't heard anything so ridiculous,' Mrs Mamo said yesterday.
'Even the woman at the jobcentre agreed it was ridiculous but explained it was policy because they could get sued for being dicriminatory against unreliable people.
'She told me they'd had lots of problems with people taking them to court for adverts stating something like "would suit school leaver".'

timebandit... NO!
They pay QR500 for a ticket to enter in the raffle to be interviewed.
Then you pick 20 tickets, and then send SMS messages "YOU HAVE WON A CHANCE TO GET THE JOB! please come to the interview at xx:xx am on XX/XX/2010"
Good Idea timebandit...but then they'll be blamed for being RUDE :(

Here is an idea. Simply state what the job is, with no reference to who it would be suitable for. But take a deposit for the cost of your time before the interview starts. If they are time wasters you keep the deposit.
Damn...they cant even call "Humans" to apply *smack*

I think I have to flag you, Jack. You just posted two offensive words.
Lol...what next...
The words...reliable and hard working...are both equally offensive...lol
Even if they included living beings, the dead might get offended.
**** Aal Izz Well****
Even if they included the sex, the other sex might be offended!

If they need Doctors, they should not mention it...what if Engineers get offended? ;)

They should not include well qualified also, what about the illiterates, they will get offended..
