When hiring, do you take age into consideration? Do you find that " younger" candidates ( maybe 25-35) get preferential treatment over those who are older? There seems to be a stigma that older hires for junior roles are seen as less innovative and adaptive.

I work in the U.S., where age discrimination against persons older than 40 is illegal. Does it happen? Sure. But I work hard to train my company’s managers to make sure it isn’t us making it happen.

looking into it!

Officially, we don’t consider age when hiring. For any reason. Unofficially, I think we all know that’s not very realistic. Depends on the role. For the more physical roles yes younger candidates or desirable.

good insight!
