What will you choose ? A male employee or a female employee ?

discrimination on the grounds of gender is illegal and you would find yourself in court very wquickly if you tried to choose on the basis of gender. The reality is that many employers choose women over men for jobs as they feel they need to avoid claims of discrimination. Hence the standard of woman that they choose is likely to be lower than the men interviewed. When recruiting trainee solicitors, women are usually chosen ebvent hough the men may be better qualified. One recruiter said he would rather work with an attractive woman than a man. Many women now send their photo woth their CV to get an unfair advvantage. Remember that women have far more rights at work than men. In the UK 12 months maternity leave but only 2 weeks paternity leave. Women are far more lilely to claim harassment at work. Women are mor eliklely to give up work and look after the kids than men. Which one is lmore liklely to be career oriented? Ask firms which gender have the higher staff turnover? You should select based on ability only. Best of luck and try not to end up breaking the law!

Male or female? How about who is better qualified? There are some women that can do things much better than men and vice versa. It depends on the job opening. If it is like a construction type of job, where it involved physical stamina, then it might only be a male, unless a female applied and provided enough reverifiable proof she could handle the job and was more qualified than the other applicants! Since it is my own business, as the owner it is only in my best interest to put capable, qualified, motivated self starters in my organization to ensure I am getting the most productivity out of the people (whether they are male or female) I've hired.

Personally I'd choose whomever was best qualified for the job. NO point in hiring someone who couldn't do the job. It wouldn't matter whether they are male or female.

I will take whoever shows me the best resume. Gender does not matter.
