WATCH: A logistics company in China has been lauded online for promoting a fairer recruitment process by requiring job applicants to wear costume masks during interviews.
The firm, Chengdu Ant Logistics from China’s Sichuan province, had asked candidates to do so in order to avoid hiring them based on their appearance.
In her caption, Ms Zeng shared that the company had given job applicants plain white masks to freely draw on and wear. She also highlighted that a company employee had been tasked to cut and distribute sugar cane to the interviewees. Many Chinese online users praised the company for “helping to eliminate employment discrimination”. Others said such interviews “could benefit people who experience social anxiety”.Another person agreed that wearing a mask would help people speak up during interviews: “If I show my face, I don't feel confident. But if I don't have to show my face, I’m able to say a lot.”This is not the first time Chengdu Ant Logistics has gained attention for its unconventional job interviews.
