Wwyd? HR/leaders, what are your thoughts? I just finished an interview with a recruiter who asked me questions that violated EEOC standards. It’s a startup of ~500 people so I don’t think there’s been structure and training provided regarding legal interview questions. Im moving to the next round interviews with a partner of the group - do I give this as a point of feedback? Or do I say something to the recruiter?

Since you are moving up the ladder in the interview process, I would wait a bit before you volunteer the possible EEOC violation. You could always bring this up later. You are at a very advantageous part in the job process, while still getting the know the players within the company, especially the upcoming meeting with a partner of the firm. Make a note of this conversation that you had with the recruiter, and when you sort things out from “Is this a company you wish to be a part of”, you could then perhaps run this by a higher upper (the partner?), and see how he/she feels philosophically about this as well. Their answer may help you in your final decision. Best of luck.

If you want to work there then wait until you’re in. Then give them the feedback. They will be scared shitless about violating EEOC. Most likely they just don’t know and need training / awareness.

like

1. At 500 people, they are big enough that they should know and have training.
2. Someone in the recruiting profession should definitely know.

This is a problem. Make them aware, but do so in a way that helps you, not threatens them. Like, you can help them overall with process maturity in your role (or something like that). Thus, they will realize they screwed up with you, but you weren't an ass about it, and you are good for them.

Unless it course you now realize you can't possibly work for them. In that case, be a dick about it if it pleases you.

Document it thoroughly. What you were asked, your response and any discussion e.g. extemporaneous notes.

Raise this at a point you feel comfortable in the process.

Whether you get the job or not you should definately share.

What were the questions?!

Do both!

One crazy idea-any chance they asked the questions purposefully? They may want to find out if you knew the questions violated EEOC standards and find out how you handle sticky situations. Handle it with tact, but definitely tell them.

Hmm that would be a very risky test for them legally. There are other ways to test responses than put themself at risk with the EEOC
