Where the rule comes from
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits sex discrimination in hiring, and gendered titles have long been treated by the EEOC as expressing a sex preference. Neutral titles are also what candidates search for.
What the check flags
Job titles with a built-in sex: salesman, saleswoman, waitress, foreman, handyman, mailman, hostess.
Flagged
- “Waitress wanted, weekends”
- “Experienced foreman for framing crew”
- “Handyman needed”
Says the same thing, passes
- “Server wanted, weekends”
