Monster.com Rewrites Resumes to Comply with Mythical ''Law''
Posted by James Grimmelmann on Thursday, April 24 @ 07:53:53 EDT News
Monster.com is purging references to Syria, Iran, North Korea, and four other countries from all resumes and job postings on its site to comply with federal law. The only problem? Although the company claims to have consulted with the Treasury Department, a "senior department official" there says Monster is confused about the interpretation of various federal trade sanctions. The company, so far, hasn't pointed to a specific statute or regulation the listings would violate.
