Just what it says in the title, really. This was something that came up during a panel discussion on potential hires yesterday.
As it happens, the colleague who mentioned it, HR and myself were all in agreement that he wasn't suitable for the position anyway and for other reasons, so I never had to decide whether or not to kick up a fuss over the comment.
I'm still massively taken aback that a senior person in a large enterprise would come out with that, though.
It's true that we face clients in our daily work, but we're professionals, not cosmetics sales staff. And, yes, I know it's not attractive when it's severe.
Having said that, IMO it pushes the boundaries of discrimination really hard. I couldn't turn someone down for a job they can physically do because they're in a wheelchair (that's illegal) but acne is somehow okay?
AIBU or is my colleague?

To think acne is no reason to turn someone down for a job?
