Initially I had a great impression of this company, but after dealing with one of their recruiters I don t know what to think anymore. This person was either uneducated about federal law or just had a bad attitude. I had been playing phone tag with her and we finally set up a time to discuss two separate positions. She was courteous and everything went well until I told her that I could not work Saturdays. She told me that I would have to have open weekends because while I wouldn t be working EVERY Saturday, I would need to work Saturdays on occasion. She said that the company rotates the Saturday shift among the employees. I told her that I could work Sundays instead.

I tried to explain to her that it s not that I just didn t want to, but couldn t. That should have been a clue. I was also available 6 other days a week, including second shift, which she knew.

She became really rude and made a remark to the effect of well why would they let you not work Saturdays if other employees have to . I explained to her that my current employer has the same Saturday situation but that they were able to accommodate me. Hint.. hint. I didn t want to have to explicitly state that I couldn t work on Saturdays for religious reasons.
My current employer understood without me having to spell it out. For unawares, it s a violation of federal law to not hire someone based on their religiously based inability to work on a certain day. Only if they can prove that this would cause an undue burden onto the employer. Clearly, a rotating shift **once a month or less** that could be filled by any other employee is FAR from an undue burden. This information is readily available online, and that a recruiter wouldn t know this makes me question this company s competence.

She was appallingly ignorant. I didn t bring any of this up by the way, but she should have known this. She then muttered something about giving them a call and then calling me back, but it was clear she just wanted to get off the phone with me and had no intention of calling me back even after having emailed me twice and called me twice over the past week. I wanted to contact the actual employer to warn them about their terrible recruiters but I don t want to throw this company under the bus because of one employee. They are opening themselves up to lawsuits by keeping people like this as recruiters. I expect a canned response and no real resolution.
