Blocks the adrule id: age-max

Maximum age or age ranges in job ads

An age cap or an age bracket is direct age discrimination.

Where the rule comes from

Under the ADEA an upper age limit in an ad is unlawful unless age is a bona fide occupational qualification, which is rare and must be justified. Statutory minimum ages are different and may be stated.

What the check flags

Explicit caps and brackets: "maximum age", "aged under 30", "25–35 years old".

Flagged

  • “Candidates aged 20–30 years old”
  • “Maximum age 40”
  • “Applicants aged under 35”

Says the same thing, passes

  • “Must be 21+ (state law for serving alcohol)”
  • “Must be 18 or older”
  • “Valid CDL with 2+ years of driving experience”

How HirePromo handles it

The parser rewrites the problem out of your ad copy, the original wording is shown to you with this rule cited, and the pack can't be ordered until the finding is fixed.
