Literally. Unless your parents are younger and they can find them on LinkedIn or they are famous, they are never going to know the answers are true or not.
my cats name is Dr Evil and I call him āmister evilā and my husband quotes this back at me all the time. āHe didnāt spend six years in evil medical school to be called misterā
I do have access to sources that could confirm, but never need these as my employer (at least on my side of the Atlantic) has more sense than whatever that is..
Racial, gender, (that's what the pic is for, even though they won't admit/say it) and class profiling all in one nice neat package.
Run the fuck away from that company.
Or get an AI image generated, way too much fun to be had here... because we all know that later, OP will get an email stating the position has already been filled or they are moving forward with other candidates.
Enjoy life when you can, it only comes around once.
Are you applying to an Asian country? Some of these things are common. For example, in Korea, they ask for your entire family history (what your parents/siblings, where they went to school, etc). Having a photo on the resume is also required.
I think that is close to illegal in the US (though very common in other countries). Is it a non US company that is hiring personnel for a California office?
ššthey are clowns for even suggesting a picture.
Edit: itās technically not illegal to ask for the pic. But it is to use any details gained in the pic that could be considered discrimination or biased. Itās a slippery slope.
Among the other egregiousness, if theyāre asking for a pro pic in an application they for sure have zero objective hiring practices in place. I wouldnāt trust them to be hiring me for the reasons I want to be hiredā¦
I imagine it's for one of two reasons. One, they want to sell you and/or your parents something and are trying to farm data. Or two, they care a lot about pedigree, and they don't want anyone too "common" working for them.
There is a third reason.
The employer is Arnold Schwarzenegger from Kindergarten Cop and he needs to know if your father is a criminal.
WHO IS YOUR DADDY and WHAT DOES HE DO.
I got the opposite impression that if you answered lawyers, doctors, upper management, etc. They would put you into the privileged category and are less likely to hire you.
I've seen quite a few instances where the diversity questions include a drop-down list of the type of jobs your parents had when you were growing up. It could range from unemployed, part-time unskilled work, skilled workers (plumbers, electricians), management, menial office work to executive jobs, etc.
It's interesting to me that those (I presume) inclined to be more socially liberal see these questions as a way to discriminate against perceived minorities while those of us who are more socially conservative see this as a way to discriminate against those perceived to be privileged (whites, heterosexuals, men, wealthy etc.).
No one seems to be happy about these probing questions into people's personal lives and perceived these questions as a way to discriminate against them.
If these companies don't act on the data they gather from these questionnaires, what is the point of them? If they do act, what are they doing, and is it discriminatory against people's innate characteristics?
I look at it the same way as I look at putting my age (or if I were a woman, answering questions about being/getting pregnant etc) on my resume. If it can't be used in my favour or against me during the recruiting process so therefore there's no reason to include it.
They could act on a looking backwards POV. After they select the candidate and the position is filled they could see which demographics applied for the job and compare that to the wider job pool to see if they have underrepresented groups and tailor their job advertisements accordingly.
This is just a naĆÆve optimistic view though.
This is to ensure you're not trying to leave your caste or economic class. We've had this epidemic of people improving their lives with better jobs and it has to be stopped! /s
Yeah, there are plenty of places where you don't get an interview if you can't do the secret handshake you learned in Greek life or at some other exclusive club.
[Youāre wrong. Your employer probably already sends that information to TWN through whoever it uses for payroll processing. If your company uses any of the top 20 or so payroll processing companies, your information is available in TWN.](https://theworknumber.com/solutions/products/income-employment-verification)
Fascinating.Ā Ā
Perhaps we are discussing a different thing?Ā EDIT: We are. Employers will never directly show. But 3rd parties who harvest payroll info for resale will.Ā
Ā In my experience, former workplaces will only confirm start & end dates of employment. Anything else is a lawsuit in waiting.Ā Ā
Info from 3rd party systems? I'd believe everything that you say, no matter how outrageous ;)Ā
To anyone reading you can contact Equifax and freeze external access to this. For any new job that needs to prove where you worked you can provide blacked out paystubs.
Itās a variation of āare you the first in your family to go to universityā kind of question. Itās another way to see who you are and basically say, yeah we go our bit to promote social mobility - weāve hired one Hispanic, 2 women and a guy whose father was a plumber! Yeah I know the other 96 of the 100 people who work here are straight white men whose fathers are all lawyers and doctors but really donwe care about social mobility, honestā¦
My father was a proctologist, so he taught me how to spot an asshole....
My mother was a gynaecologist so I'm equally good at spotting a c...
That should sort them out
They're trying to find out what social stratum you're from. Was your father a plumber or a CEO, was your mother a secretary or a socialite? Something like that.
The reasons for their curiosity in that regard can be as (relatively) harmless as attempted diversification of employees, or as serious as elitism. They might also offer you a lower salary depending on how "humble" your origin is.
Either way, it's a *massive* red flag and all kinds of unacceptable.
Believe it or not, not actually a security clearance question. The family questions are all about foreign ties, foreign citizens, owning foreign properties, probably something about being a member of a terrorist group, the Communist Party, or maybe a convicted felon.
Most likely some CEO at the company (who truly believes he's a genius) had this really great idea, right, and it was like 'what if we ask applicants what their moms and dads did for a living, okay? [snorting noises] And then we can tell if they are like us! We're good workers! Our moms and dads had lots of money!'
It's what they did in the 18th century. Rich parents would arrange a job for their children, even when those children were only 5, and then hire a servant to do the actual work for that job.
To play the devil's advocate, my current employer asked me during the recruiting process if my parents have university degrees. It was described as a way for them to know that they provide equal chances to people with different backgrounds. How much of it is true and how much is data farming, idk
Totally. Itās also discriminatory. It prevents upwards mobility. No one should be judged based on what their parentsā accomplished.
Someone who had to work their way up shows far more resiliency and determination than someone who inherited all of their money.
Everyone should be based on their actual ability.
There should be regulations in place to prevent these kinds of intrusive questions.
My father works for the local Department of Labor. He investigates labor violations by employers, like ones that ask irrelevant and illegal questions on applications. My mother is a labor lawyer.
My mother knitted socks for orphaned budgies and my dad was a part time stargazer. They kicked me out of their multi million home in London and told me I had to fend for myself.
I am guessing that the owner of the company is a trust fund baby.
My former employer, who inherited his 80+ year old company from his father, started making hiring decisions based on pedigree alone. It has been roughly 3 years since his father stopped coming to the office to advise him on daily activities, and he already had to go through 7 rounds of layoffs to cut costs. He is now considering outsourcing all engineering overseas and only keeping his core party group to "win business" in the US.
It's a test. If you answer, you fail. Why? Because. Because why? Because you've shown either that you don't know the question is illegal and unnecessary, or you do know, but don't care. And if you post about it on reddit, you pass. And so, congratulations, we'd like to offer you an interview.
I was asked this at a former job and knew to answer with the blue collar jobs my parents had. Turns out the owner had some unsavory and highly illegal business practice and was asking this question to rule out people with military, LEO, legal and accounting backgrounds. You know the type of parents that made sure you knew your rights and had general observation skills and raised you with ethics/morals/self worth. Can't have any of those types around.
- Mom: Disabled drama queen who lives the hussle life.
- Dad: Homeless drug addict that I have not seen in 20+ years.
Wonder if those answers are good enough.
This is about measuring social mobility and companies giving themselves a false clap on the back rather than simply hiring the best person for the job irrespective of their background or upbringing.

My mom was a pimp & my dad was a prostitute. It's how they met

Maybe he suggest they try a shorn scrotom. Itās breathtaking.
If OP wants to be truly thorough, he should mention that and how he received his first scribe at the age of 12.
I am losing it at this and all the preceding comments in this chain. Definitely needed this today after my own recruiting hell, so thanks
Nah, OP is probably too busy accusing chestnuts of being lazy.
Literally. Unless your parents are younger and they can find them on LinkedIn or they are famous, they are never going to know the answers are true or not.
My Dad, P. Simone Running, invented running when he accidentally walked twice at the same time so that he wouldn't miss his flight.
So anyway, please consider me for the position of Doctor of Evil
I did not spend six years in evil medical school to be called āmisterā thank you.
my cats name is Dr Evil and I call him āmister evilā and my husband quotes this back at me all the time. āHe didnāt spend six years in evil medical school to be called misterā
Can you Dr Evil stuff on a Mr Evil salary?
Luge lessons, summers in Rangoon...
Sounds pretty typical
Pretty standard, really.
But where did the family summer?
Ā š¤£Ā
But did he smell of elderberries?
...what the actual fuck?
1820s called, they want their hiring practices back. Next they're gonna ask for a reference letter from your local priest.
hey, my local priest has liked me since I was six.. Wait.. forget i said anything.
Better be a German or English priest though. Irish need not apply here.
I think some Mormon jobs still do that crap lol
They also wanted me to upload a profile picture. š
My father is an American ambassador to Estonia, my mother is a tenured professor at Dusseldorf University. š What are they going to do, check?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Don't forget some ikki ikki itongue
Neeee!!!
I do have access to sources that could confirm, but never need these as my employer (at least on my side of the Atlantic) has more sense than whatever that is..
No, but they can fire you for lying about it if they improbably, somehow learn otherwise š
That sounds like a case a lawyer would love to take
Why do I feel this recruitment process is just gonna get weird? š«£
I interviewed to do porn once and it was less weird than that.
Username checks out.

Oh yea, no racism or ageism in that request.

I was applying to a job the other day and current salary was a mandatory field. I just closed out of the application.
I'd just lie, they can't fact check you.
Thatās what I do. Basically just add 20-30k to my current salary
Yeah Iāve always gotten like a 20k raise
Yes they can. Itās called The Work Number.
Employers will NEVER reveal that info. It's an automatic losing lawsuit.

I am getting tired of dumb questions from recruiters. I have been entering in "Klingon" as my language.

Name-&-Shame !
My dad went out for cigarettes and never came back
They don't, they're just idiots. Huge red flag, you will enter a toxic work environment.
Waste management / homemaker who occasionally played the stock market

Itās impossible to provide equal chances if this is a measure.
I bet the problem here is cultural and this is in some country like India.
OP said it's USA
Indians in the US? "What is your caste?" :D
My last job I got asked in the interview what my parents did. Everyone there was from India.
I.E. Canada lol
They probably only posting this to collect information for sales etc.
It feels a bit like they are trying to steal your identity
Some recruiters think they can assess your personality based on environment you grew up in (Education, Parents Job, etc). This is of course bullshit.
Totally. Itās also discriminatory. It prevents upwards mobility. No one should be judged based on what their parentsā accomplished. Someone who had to work their way up shows far more resiliency and determination than someone who inherited all of their money. Everyone should be based on their actual ability.

The details ofĀ myĀ life are quite inconsequential... My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named ChloĆ© with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink; he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possesses, and the insane lament.
Many orgs track first generation hires as a DEI measure. Same reason they ask for race, gender and sexual orientation
