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

Nowadays, when prospective employees sign up for an open position in a company, oftentimes they are asked to fill down private data

such

as favourite activities and marital status. Some say

this

requirement is not needed,

while

others say

this

is necessary. In my opinion,

this

additional

information

is helpful, especially for the

recruiters

.

This

essay will elaborate on both positions below. First of all, candidates think

this

information

is not relevant to the hiring process. There is no guarantee they will be chosen for the position and jotting down so much private

information

is oversharing and a risky move.

For example

in Indonesia, curriculum vitae and private

information

people usually send to

recruiters

can be seen as used paper to wrap a snack on the street. On the other side, statuses like married, divorced, or single are important for the human relations officer to curate candidates that do not meet the user or management criteria.

Additionally

, they need

this

data to calculate a projection of the prospective employee's family allowance. As for the hobbies and interests, the

recruiters

could get to know about a person's lifestyle and habits.

For instance

, when a candidate says they like to browse short videos and play games, there is a possibility that

this

person is lazy and unmotivated.

To conclude

, prospective candidates think

this

additional

information

is not required and could be completed later when they join the company.

While

that is

true, in my opinion,

this

administration is important in helping employers curate a huge number of documents. Even so, I think the

recruiters

need to have the integrity to dispose of the rejected applicant's data responsibly.
