A tech company in Virginia has been fined thousands of dollars by the Justice Department over a job advert seeking “whites only” candidates.

In March 2023, a recruiter for Arthur Grand Technologies, an information technology services firm based in Ashburn, posted a job advertisement on the recruitment website Indeed for a business analyst for the company’s sales and insurance claims team.

The job posting said that the company was looking for “US Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates]”, according to the DOJ.

      Yeah the employee answers to people above. That shit wasn’t a misunderstanding. They copy and pasted the job listing they were supposed to edit is what happened. As evidenced by the parentheses explicitly telling them to remove those portions.

      That’s what the company is blaming it on. I don’t believe that for a second.
