A company posted a job ad seeking 'preferably Caucasian' candidates

A tech company is under fire for a job listing that described desired applicants as"preferably Caucasian."

Information technology staffing and recruiting company Cynet Systems apologized for the job listing, which was spotted last week by Twitter users. The job ad, which has been removed, was posted on sites including LinkedIn.

Your job listing for a mid-senior level business development position's top qualification is "Preferably Caucasian"— Helena McCabe April 27, 2019 The company, based in Sterling, Virginia, apologized a day later on Twitter for the"anger & frustration caused by the offensive job post.""It does not reflect our core values of inclusivity & equality," the tweet said."The individuals involved have been terminated.

— Cynet Systems April 29, 2019 Federal law and policy prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of race or color. It is illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee"because of the person's race, color, religion, sex, , national origin, age , disability or genetic information," according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Who is the company?

Inherent racism creeping into corporate culture. This will destroy the company in the long run.

Let’s hope that person in HR is looking for a job now!

The Ad might as well had stated 'WHITES ONLY' All I know is..... people better be very careful of teeter tottering with this country's hateful past. I promise you, it will NOT be the same scenario OR outcome! AntiRacism antiracist

Is Trump working on an exit plan company after he resigns?

The person has been fired, it’s a Indian-American owned company and they hire diversely. Let’s stop all the race shit and focus on making our own lives better. If you have job be happy and mind your own.

Linked in should not accept this kind of job description.!!!!!

~ wow… companies are usually much more covert with their discrimination and harassment practices.

In other words the white house needs help.

This was for a position with gop GOPHouse GOPSenate

Wow! I’m sure cynetjobs has fixed this as it is just wildly inappropriate in this day and age.

Democrats leader came out and said that they don't want a White Male leader.............Stupid is what stupid does.

Wow

Well McDonald’s is making you speak Spanish at the interview so this seems fine.

So when group identity hirings happen with white people it's odd now?

I received the same line when I interviewed with CNN

They could get a black man with incredible credentials and sideline him for a mediocre white man. They’re hurting their own buisiness.

Sounds about white...

Oh oh ..not good ..should have said Chinese

This world I tell ya,just wow.

Hey, I' surprised they'll even hire those 'preferable Caucasians', so that's a start. 🤪

Just think if it wasn't caught. They need to be Shutdown.

The last time they were this blatant was in the early 20th century. They would say “no Irish, Negros or Jews need apply”

I had no idea Trump was starting a tech company.

Wow!

A female engineer at Google says her warnings to the company about a male colleague with a foot-fetish were overlooked, leading her to seek psychiatric helpGoogle did not take action against the potential stalking case, she said, because she never filed a formal complaint against the man for fear of retaliation. Not your fault. However nothing about that photo of a mini dress and heels says power. ( submissive) Sounds like world war three is going to be a pretty easy win for China If he was looking anywhere else, she'd be complaining that he was looking at her breasts, ass, eyes etc.. It's best not to even acknowledge women in the workplace now. Just don't look at them at all. Pretend they're not there.
