Bro,

I came across a job recruitment website (for Singaporeans) where as the recruitment is open to all nationalities, EXCEPT INDIANS!!!! THIS IS A BIG DISCRIMINATION TO THE INDIANS!! Please inform everyone about this!!

A quick check by me confirms the information, but not the discrimination! Here are some screenshots of the recruitment page:

Here’s a short description of the company:

BITECH International Pte Ltd is part of a transnational conglomerate founded in 1988. BITECH has offices in Singapore, Malaysia, India, United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka and operates in the US as Transworld Information Systems Inc. With over 700 software professionals on board worldwide and having accumulated over 3000 person years of experience, BITECH is a truly global ICT Professional Services Company.

The job offered is: SAP HR (Techno – Functional) Consultant

It seems that only INDIAN NATIONALITIES are not eligible to apply for this job, and I don’t think it would somewhat affect the Malaysian Indians or Singaporean Indians. But, why wanna reject the Indians from India for this job? Isn’t it harsh to state there “EXCEPT INDIANS” raspingly?

      so it makes alot of dif. companies usually put such restrictions to have a balanced human resource..cud be many other reason..

      Yup!

      That’s why I mentioned there that it would only affect those Indian Nationalities, and not those Singaporean/Malaysian Indians. :smile:

      no its not…basically its the language barrier (sometimes) and also different qual methods. other than that they could be servicing some sensitive info regarding india, hence the note of no Indians. and yep, there is a quota for foreign workers i think. :razz:

      Still, why only Indians? If they are servicing some sensitive info about India, it is more serious!! Does it mean that people from Pakistan, Bangaladesh, Nepal, Srilanka, Saudi, and other countries are more suitable there? They should give an explanation for the same.

      This is blatant racial discrimination and something needs to be done about this.

      To all commenters who think this ad okay:
      If there is a particular reason (say communication skills) for this, then *THAT* is how they should have mentioned it — “Good communication skills a must”.

      No problem,

      First Think about the company Does it have any CMMLevel justification

      Indians have proved already acrros the Globe as they are good qualified IT professionals.. this wouldnot be effect to anyone of the India..

      I think, for that company, there are probably enough Indians, a reason why they said “Except Indians” Not much of a big deal. :cool:
