Are you hiring IT professionals over 35s? Leave the details below

Why would you decide ahead of time the demographic of people you want to hire? Isn’t that restricting your hiring pool? Why not let anyone apply and hire the most qualified candidates who are the best fit for your needs at the time?

Is anyone not hiring “over 35s?”

Wow, 35 is apparently where the ageism begins - that's scary. It's almost like we're all professional athletes where the lifespan of ones playing career typically ends in your 30's - then maybe you go into broadcasting (or analogously management).

Tech lead here. Truth be told, when I screen resumes, I never actually look at the age in the profile of candidates. Even during face to face interviews, I don't even ask. I only get to know how old they are when we hire them just because we're getting to know each other then on a personal level. We still prioritize skill, competency and attitude over age, sex, or even education. Doesn't matter how young and old you are.

P.S Well, the 'Education' section there is something the HR guys just came up with. :) When the application reaches me, doesn't really matter.

So if you entered into the workforce in your 20s around 2010, you are now edging nearing the end of your career?

A solid what the fuck?
