If this search engines is used, then discrimination exists. The search engine itself is not discriminating. Here in Holland we also have some job-agencies specifically targeted at the seniors. But that kind of works the other way around: they have jobs seniors would like and they take the time to talk to them. (and charge well for that I must add) On the other hand, is it really like this in the US? That you can't get a job because of your sexual preference? I mean, I can understand in certain jobs you need certain types of people. I can imagine that they don't hire 50-year-olds to work at a hip student bar. But I can't understand how sexual preference or race should be a reason not to get a job... I guess America is so proud of there little bit of freedom they do have, they think it's special.

(keep in mind, this was a few years ago.) a reason to maintain "control" over the posting is that you might get the listing from the company/client, and if someone scrapes you, you have no idea what site will be displaying the listing.. ie a porn site scrapes monster for job listings.. and winds up displaying GE job ads.. i'm not sure GE would be too thrilled if this were to occur... the final point is that the sites doing the scraping will eventually want to encroach into the space owned by the traditional job sites. why help your future competitors by letting them have amunition now!!! without the ability to scrape job listings, the simplyhired/indeed sites can't survive. peace... we now return you to your thread!!! #11 - dylan…
