RECRUITMENT PROCESS
Polish Labor Law does not regulate the content of job
advertisements or the procedure of job interviews.
Nevertheless, in the recruitment process, the future employer must
comply with the principles of equal treatment (non-discrimination)
and adhere to the rules of processing personal data of
candidates.
Non-discrimination in recruitment and job adverts
When formulating the content of the advertisement and selecting
candidates for work the employer shall refrain from
criteria based on sex, age, religion, political beliefs or
disability. As these criteria are not related to work,
they cannot be taken into account when deciding on employment.
Nonetheless, the principle of equal treatment of job applicants
is not absolute. The employer may indicate in the
job advertisement a discriminative criterion if it is able to
justify its importance for a given type of
work.
