I have extensive insurance background, clearly outlined on my resume. I applied online. I was sent an hour long skills (math and problem solving) and personality test. I received a call within a day from an HR representative who told me I had done well on the test and scheduled a time for a recruiter to call me. The recruiter who called me sounded like a very young man, very abrupt with his questions, but the questions were not difficult. Then, very suddenly, he asked me what I was doing in the 1980's? I said, "excuse me?" and he repeated the question. I responded that I had been in school (no details as I was waiting to see where he was going with this). He very abruptly ended the interview and said someone would be calling me back, but of course, there was no call. Very clearly he was trying to determine my age without asking me outright which he obviously knew is illegal. I have worked in insurance for years and interviewed, hired, and occasionally had to fire personnel. Most resumes I reviewed go back five to ten years or more to whenever the person started in the industry or related field. I have never, ever, thought about trying to determine the age of an applicant as it is illegal. In fact, I was always impressed with someone who had experience. I am not a senior citizen, I simply started my career straight out of high school while attending college at night. Clearly this recruiter was age profiling, and regardless of whether the recruiter thought to do it on his own, or the company knows about it, it was very obvious. Very unprofessional overall.
