金融服务业者万事达卡(Mastercard)公司,近期在职业社交网站领英(LinkedIn)发布一则招聘启事,为该公司开放银行产品管理寻找区域总监。 这个两周前发布的招聘启事,要求求职者有能力在区域关键市场中奠定开放银行的链接、寻找潜在客户、协调公司同仁和第三方供应商等,看似中规中矩。 然而,招聘条件对于偏好的语言能力,却提及需通晓印度语(Hindi),外加能说流利英语。既然有关职缺乃是针对新加坡的,却要求求职者需通晓印地语,不免显得突兀。 针对本社的询问,劳资政三方公平与良好雇佣联盟(TAFEP)就表示讲探讨此事,向有关公司要求更多详情。 TAFEP也强调,若要在本地招聘,所有雇主应遵守公平服用的守则,也强调该联盟严正看待任何招聘歧视的现象,也会将任何违规情况通报给人力部以采取行动。 而根据劳资政公平雇佣准则,若招聘条件对英语以外的特定语言有要求,那么雇主就应在招聘广告中合理解释,确保他人能充分理解、扩大求职人选的范围,也能避免他人对雇主留下负面印象。 另一方面,本社也已针对此事咨询人力部和万事达公司,以寻求当局回应。 不久前,本社也报导一家公司在劳动力发展局的MyCareersFuture.sg官网,发布招聘员工广告,不过工作条件却提及“欧洲/西方人士为佳”(preferably Europeans/ Westerners),被当局要求更正。
