Age limits in job postings
RecommendationVerified
Unia reminds that an age limit in a posting must be justified. Seek a specific skill rather than an age range.
A posting limited to an age range or an instruction given to a temporary agency directly excludes other candidates. The page recalls that a limit without legitimate, appropriate, and reasonable reason is prohibited.
Unia distinguishes limits provided by a legal arrangement, such as certain conditions of a first employment agreement. Verify the applicable arrangement before adopting a limit in the posting; exceptions do not permit a general age filter.
The sheet refers to the anti-discrimination law of May 10, 2007 and its special age justification regime. Undated page: the date used is the entry into force of that law, June 9, 2007.
