As much as recruiters try to avoid it, age discrimination is still popping up in the hiring process. Like singer Aaliyah once said, “Age ain’t nothing but a number,” and new survey findings reveal that discrimination is happening at any age.
Jobscan, a résumé-optimizing tool, recently released new survey findings from over 100 recruiters that reveal just how prevalent age discrimination is in the hiring process. The main finding is that 88% of recruiters feel age discrimination is a problem, and some respondents provided anecdotal evidence for why they feel this way.
