Company Virginia, USA call Arthur Grand Technologies was heavily criticized after a job advertisement targeting only “white American citizens” became public. The company ended up removing the ad and was even forced to completely shut down its website and all of its social media accounts after the scandal went viral on Twitter. Internet.

through the forum Reddit, various users expressed their outrage at this job posting, which used discriminatory language. According to what the people applying for this position published in Reallythe company was looking for a business analyst from Dallas for a long-term contract and included a note that “only US citizens will be considered. [blancos]”

In addition, in one section of the ad, job seekers were asked not to share this information with others, so the company tried to hide these illegal criteria from everyone who wants to get a job.

Outrageously discriminatory job ad

IN Redditusers urged candidates of all races and nationalities to apply for a job and then file a complaint with Office of Federal Contract Enforcement condemn Arthur Grand Technologies and launch an investigation into alleged discriminatory recruitment practices that violate federal law.

Message from LinkedIn offers a formal company statement in response to the controversy. Arthur Grand Technologies alleges that the former employee “took an existing ad and added discriminatory language to it and then re-posted it through his own account.” The company said it is currently suing the former employee.

Despite his statement, the portal Vice noted that this release had been edited and a screenshot emerged showing the company claimed the job posting was posted by a junior employee who was later fired. Terms of Service Mr. Really mention that any employee who posted an ad on behalf of Arthur Grand Technologies This would have been verified by the company, but the terminated employee could still have access to the associated account to post the announcement.

Discriminatory scandal that spread across the Internet

In a statement LinkedIn, Arthur Grand Technologies called the job posting “offensive”, stating that the company was “minorally owned”, and did not grant permission to post on Indeed. Interestingly, the message gets a bit confusing towards the end of the statement, which says the company is making it “very clear” about what happened and asking for no more “supposed comments or questions” to “avoid further chaos.”

From an archived version of a now defunct website Arthur Grand Technologies, the tech company said it is committed to attracting “the best talent to serve” its customers. Some of these clients are government agencies such as Internal Revenue Service And Department of Veterans Affairsas well as commercial clients such as Comcast, Capital One, Citi And Fanny Mae.

The job offer, now deleted, was for clients Arthur Grand HTC Global Services And Berkshire Hathaway Inc.. Since the company apparently stopped answering questions to “avoid chaos,” users still have a few questions about the whole situation, such as whether the ad was posted by a company employee to expose their practices.
