F shaming the recruiter. They should be fired immediately if that was their own personal agenda.
It’s illegal to discriminate based on gender. Male, female, you name it.
Once I was told in the first 30 seconds of an interview that they were looking to hire a woman (I am a man). It was a really awkward interview.
Well, sadly this is happening. A lot of women promoted and then not enabled to do what they do best. Sucks for men and sucks for women since they use us to project an idea of fairness and equality that contradicts the very principles of it.
feel good/gross story of the day
Yeah, this is happening all over.
umm personally I'm glad she was only given female candidates. I'll take any advantage I can get.
How many times do you think ECDs are only given portfolios of male creatives?
Agree
Something in this realm just happened at my shop. They wanted to hire more women, so they did. Then threw them all on our newest account, which is a super macho male-targeted brand. It’s like putting a bunch of men on a tampon brand. One managed to get put on another account, another already quit. Moral of the story- “hiring” women isn’t the be-all end-all solution. You also need to make internal changes.
As a guy, I'd kill to work on a tampon brand or be given any other creative challenge. Bummer though.
