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.

    Considering it said “[Don’t share with candidates]” and allegedly the Indian employee is the one who shared it with candidates, I think I can guess what he was righteously “disgruntled” about!

      Even if the guy happily posted the ad, that is the most tone-deaf way they could have responded to this. Even just coming out and saying, “yep, we meant whites only when we said whites only” would have been less tone-deaf.
