An applicant has a significantly older age than the current team members. How should this be handled legally in the hiring process?
- Consider age as a factor in decision-making
- Disqualify the candidate to maintain team cohesion
- Emphasize age diversity as a positive factor
- Focus on skills and qualifications irrelevant to age
Legally, it's essential to focus on skills and qualifications that are relevant to the job, irrespective of age. Discriminating based on age is against the law, so the hiring decision should be based on merit and job-related criteria.
