A tech company in Virginia has been fined thousands of dollars by the Justice Department over a job advert seeking “whites only” candidates.

In March 2023, a recruiter for Arthur Grand Technologies, an information technology services firm based in Ashburn, posted a job advertisement on the recruitment website Indeed for a business analyst for the company’s sales and insurance claims team.

The job posting said that the company was looking for “US Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas, TX [Don’t share with candidates]”, according to the DOJ.

Only fined? Whoever made that requirement is going to continue causing damage. This person should be banned from any management position or position where they have power over other people.

Company should be banned. Nobody should do business with them anymore.

The company should have lost its business license and had its IP released to the public domain. Someone might actually care.
