‘Don’t mention unmarried requirement…’: Apple iPhone maker Foxconn asks Indian headhunters to tweak job criteria on ads

Apple manufacturer Foxconn has instructed the hiring agents who help recruit iPhone assembly workers in India to remove age, gender, and marital status criteria along with the company’s name from job advertisements, Reuters reported on Monday, November 18, quoting three people familiar with the development.

“The instructions for ads were: Don’t mention the unmarried requirement, don’t mention age, nor male or female either,” said one person cited in the report.
