Question: Isn’t it illegal for a potential employer to collect information about your race and gender during a job interview? Answer: Only if they use that information in their hiring decisions. This article from website HireDiversity.com reports on the federal government’s activities to collect statistical information on job applicants as a way of ensuring that companies are engaging in fair hiring practices. Still beware … the questionnaire should be voluntary and detached from the job application form in order not to violate the Civil Rights Act.
