US tech firm agrees to $38,000 in penalties after ‘whites only’ job ad

Arthur Grand Technologies blames rogue employee but agrees to implement new training and justice department monitoring

A tech firm from Virginia has agreed to pay more than $38,000 in penalties after posting a job advertisement that solicited exclusively white, US-born applicants, the federal government has announced.

Arthur Grand Technologies drew the scrutiny of anti-discrimination officials when it went on the hiring site Indeed.com in March 2023 and published an ad aiming to fill a business analyst vacancy while limiting applicants to Only US Born Citizens [white] who are local within 60 miles from Dallas".
