That's a strange thing to actually say directly to an applicant." They don't do it face to face. They put it in the want adds.
"Personally, I think there is some validity to this thinking, butemployment status alone isn't the only factor. Alot of other things matter like what the local job market is like, what industry you are in, how long the person has been unemployed... Sometimes someone chooses to be unemployed for awhile. In an area like Detroit I would expect to find alot of good candidates who've been unemployed for a long time. In an area like Atlanta I would expect to find some people who may have a shorter period of unemployment (in the tech industry), but few with really long periods." Yeah, there might be some validity to not hiring some of the unemployed people, but there is no need to ban all unemployed before you start. Being in the position to do the hiring, you get to evaluate each potential person. Seems like it would be a PR nightmare to have a policy like this.
