‘White’ only – Rogue ex-employee blamed for discriminatory insurance job advert

In a post on LinkedIn, dated Wednesday, April 5, 2023, Arthur Grand said it had initiated legal action against a former employee said to be responsible for the post. The ex-employee had taken “an existing posting and added discriminatory language, then reposted it through his own account,” according to the tech company.

Arthur Grand said it had worked with the job portal to remove the “offensive” posting. When approached by Insurance Business, Indeed said it was unable to comment on the individual case but that “discrimination is strictly prohibited” on its platform.

“Arthur Grand is a minority-owned company that has been offering IT and staffing services since 2012 and we pride ourselves on the diversity of our staff and leadership,” Arthur Grand said in its social media statement.

“It is the policy of Arthur Grand that all employees and applicants for employment are afforded equal opportunity without regard to race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, religion, or non-job-related disability.”
