A recruiting firm posted a video on LinkedIn where they asked their employees "what year were you born". If someone was born in 1999 or earlier, they had superimposed their head onto someone in a historical setting (i.e.: the Revolutionary War, Noah's Ark, the Ice Age, etc). Since ageism is a real problem, how fair could they be in trying to place an applicant who is 26 or older? If it's a joke, it's in poor taste.

I'm sure they would have had my head on a dinosaur, as I'm close to retirement. If done right, that could be hysterical. However, it does make me question the mindset of a recruiting firm that would alienate likely higher earners. Staffing firms are often paid based upon a percentage of the salary paid to their placement. I question their judgment. You are right in doing so as well.
