And that's the rub Art,I can't see a 7 month pregnant applicant being most qualified if they would be unable to be there to complete the project. I know what you mean though.
We definitely work on deadlines and we ask perspective employees are the able to committ to XYZ schedule to complete the project or meet a deadline.
So if they say "yes" they can and then turn around and tell us they want to be out for maternity leave, then they lied.
I truly empathize as I'm a mom but I've been on both sides. That's one reason why employees put in avenues to dismiss people. one way is keeping our new hire "temporary" for 6 months.
AS others have mentioned it's not that hiring managers wake up and say let's discriminate, they are trying to get the best qualified applicant. so what constitutes "qualified"??
