I've noticed one thing during my tenure. Most recruiters if they happen to be guys, are biased towards the fairer sex (if they happen to be smart enough).

I remember my campus days when we could predict well in advance who'll get past the interviews (after the written tests were cleared) and we were right most of the time. Even if there were better male candidates for the job, he was rejected in favor of a girl. Don't know if anyone among you have guts to admit this fact (yes, its a fact, i've seen it in more than fifty companies)

Dear Reshma,

I differ from ur views. What u have shared could be an event which would have happened, but it is not a universal event, as u know , things change with leader to leader and time to time.

How do u know that the girl whom he / she had taken is not smart/intelligent, this is too prejudice feeling u have towards the girl as it is only a perceived notion. Even if that event has happened, I am sure there would be some reason for it. As goes in any game umpire is the ultimate decision maker. I take ur view that there are instances which is happening, but it is only a feeling, as u know, it would be difficult to execute or extract work through people who are dum or life for them would not be easy, and such people would not long last in any organisation, as there would be others who have to get work from her,it is a principal of survival to fittest, hence this gender bias is not an issue or a subject to be considered for discussion.

Please give the ladies a break and their brains their due.....as professionals let us not divulge in such sort of unnecessary talks. Let the gurus continue the knowledge exchange in the professionals way that it so beautifully carrying on.

As professionals, we should not be carrying this kind of a attitude and should judge a person on merits/skills/capabilities, and not on gender-bias.
