A northern Virginia tech company has agreed to pay out a settlement after claims that it discriminated by posting a job listing seeking white, U.S.-born candidates for an opening as a business analyst.The Justice Department announced that it had reached a settlement with Arthur Grand Technologies, an information technology firm in Ashburn, Virginia. The company will pay $38,500 as part of the settlement.
"I share the public’s outrage at Arthur Grand’s appalling and discriminatory ban on job candidates based on citizenship status, national origin, color and race."In the settlement agreement, the company said the ad was "generated by a disgruntled recruiter in India and was intended to embarrass the company," and that it never intended to dissuade non-citizens from applying.Arthur Grand did not return a call and email Tuesday seeking comment.
