Vaishnavi, a marketing professional, criticized HR practices in India after a luxury hospitality chain requested her height, weight, bank statements, and a full-length photo during a recruitment process for a non-customer-facing role.
She expressed shock on social media, denouncing the request as sexist and highlighting outdated practices like asking for previous salary slips. Vaishnavi's outcry sparked widespread concern online, with users questioning the relevance and privacy implications of such demands.
She emphasized the need for hiring based on skills rather than appearance, deeming the requests a red flag for potential discrimination or negligence in HR standards.
