Band 7

Employers sometimes ask people applying for jobs for personal information, such as their hobbies and interests, and whether they are married or single. Some people say that this information may be relevant and useful. Others, however, disagree. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, many companies ask individuals to share private
details
 with them,
such
 as extra-curricular activities and hobbies
people
 are involved in,
also
information
 about their relationship status. Some organisations believe that data of
this
 kind might be helpful to understand the characteristics of a person in a better way before he/she joins the company.
However
, others say that
such
details
 could be confidential, and the employer must not ask for
such
details
 in the first place.
This
 essay will dictate both statements and provide views on the same.
Firstly
, many establishments have made it mandatory in their terms and conditions section to ask candidates to disclose private
details
 as the initial step of the recruiting process. To elaborate, they notify the recruitment team to add certain questions in the first contact with the job opportunist in a format of a questionnaire or a screening call.
For instance
, A survey was conducted for the "Google" company, under which the employment agencies were told to ask
people
 about their personal
details
 to verify the authenticity of the individuals joining their workplace.
On the other hand
, there are a set of
people
 who do not intend to share
such
information
 because they find it irrelevant, and sharing
such
 particulars about them could breach the code of privacy for those individuals. To cite an example, there are a lot of fake recruiting agencies available in the job market which misuses the personal
information
 of job applicants and create fake identities to scam the public.
In addition
, there have been a lot of cases recently registered where a lot of
people
 got scammed, so to avoid certain circumstances many
people
 insist on not disclosing their privacy to anyone.
To conclude
, we must authenticate the source completely before sending any data to the other party.
Moreover
, after we found out that the company is genuine
then
 it would be a wise step to share the required
information
.
