2006 Age Discrimination Act and Recruitment

On 1st October 2006, a new Age Discrimination Act came into force. This effects the content you use when posting your jobs on viewcreatives and how we are allowed to process information about our users. In short, a persons years of experience and their age are not longer displayed.

The main issue with any new Act is that there is no case law in place. Therefore we all need to be mindful in these early stages until more detailed guidelines are published.

A brief summary of the new Act (recruitment)

Make your decisions about recruitment on the skills required for the vacancy. Provide training to help those making judgements to be objective and avoid stereotyping people because of their age.
Remove dates of birth from your application forms.
Dont ask for GCSE results - as this differentiates between a GCSE generation, and an O Level generation.
Do not ask for a specific number of years experience in job adverts
Avoid using language that might imply that you would prefer someone of a certain age, such as mature, young or energetic.
Dont ask anything age-related in interview at all.

Shortlisting and Record Keeping

At each stage of the recruitment process, check that no bias, deliberate or unintentional, has influenced decisions. In all organisations this check should be carried out by someone who has not been involved in the shortlisting. In all instances, you should record your decisions and retain these records, ideally for 12 months.
