I was leading some interviews this afternoon. One candidate arrived with her 13yr old son. She said she’d brought him so he could get an idea of what an interview was like.
I said he couldn’t be part of the interview, needed to wait in reception or she could arrange childcare and we would interview her at the end of the day.
She said no one had said she couldn’t bring him, it’s good life experience etc. I said no and she agreed (eventually) for him to wait in reception.
When I called her to say she hadn’t got the job, she said we were discriminating against her because she had a child.
I don’t think I was unreasonable but no one ever does. What would you have done?
