In March 2023, a recruiter for Arthur Grand Technologies posted a job advertisement looking for ‘US Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates]’
A tech company in Virginia has been fined thousands of dollars by the Justice Department over a job advert seeking “whites only” candidates.
In March 2023, a recruiter for Arthur Grand Technologies, an information technology services firm based in Ashburn, posted a job advertisement on the recruitment website Indeed for a business analyst for the company’s sales and insurance claims team.
The job posting said that the company was looking for “US Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates]”, according to the DOJ.
The article says the post was made by an employee in India. Seems like a cultural misunderstanding.

Those are square brackets not parentheses

I do know what you mean and I know there’s some weird British vs American English thing where sometimes parentheses are called brackets or something.
“Thousands of dollars” in fines is orders of magnitude too low.
Edit: also, what the actual fuck:
Under the arrangement, Arthur Grand will pay a civil penalty of $7,500, along with a total of $31,000 to 31 people who complained about the posting. The company — which is minority-owned and a federal contractor designated a disadvantaged business — will also be monitored to ensure compliance with anti-discrimination laws.
That company should’ve instantly lost those “disadvantaged business” and “Federal contractor” designations permanently!
You’re neglecting how they got those contracts to begin with.
Rookie mistake. You’re not supposed to say the quiet part out loud.
We can’t even hire WHITE PEOPLE now? I TOLD YOU Whites were being hated just because of our SKIN COLOR! And I’m TOTALLY NOT RACIST!
