Some people...
Key takeaway here is to not use Ninja Recruiting based on crazy and obnoxious hiring principals.
My response:
I thought they are supposed to hire based on job related reasons... not who you use for personal email, color of car you drive...
Well, actually for a technical job.. use of personal email can be very telling. If I was hiring for IT, and someone was using a Yahoo.com account, I would bin their app in a second. But any of the rest, nah, I know of no issues with Hotmail, or AOL or Outlook.com or Gmail, etc.
Assuming she was demanding that you setup a vanity domain for yourself, that's ridiculous.

These aren't protected classes and are thus legal reasons to choose to hire or not. . . .
Sure they are, and she's within her privilege to do so. But knowing she does this tells me loads about her and her company... and knows I don't want anything to do with them.

Yeah, I gave a real reason for Yahoo... but she gives none, and I have the feeling her reasons are "because gmail looks cool", but not for any real reasons. I'm curious to know why she feels people who use hotmail or aol (who knows what others she doesn't think are cool enough) for their personal email don't deserve a job?

@tim_g What does "port their emails into a new address" mean?
I'm guessing she means switch email providers... if you have hotmail, she won't hire you until you switch to gmail.
This reminds me of a post I saw almost a year ago in which a guy said he throws away half of the resumes he receives because he doesn't want unlucky people working in his department.
Lol... how does he determine who's lucky or not?
If you aren't thrown away, you're lucky. If you get thrown away, you are not.

But even moreso, I'd never work with a recruiter, or any company, that uses Gmail. If they don't have their own domain, they aren't a real business. Now for personal things, sure. But she thinks having her INTERNS on Gmail is okay? How embarrassing!

No power cords. How dumb does he think we are.

And it looks like only the mouse is connected but no keyboard.

Clearly a hipster that doesn’t realize this is a computer and not a typewriter.

I think that I can honestly say that I’ve never looked at my LinkedIn feed.

I have but I was quickly bored

We had a tech recruiter present at our local spicecorp meeting last night. It was interesting to see what their side of LinkedIn looked like.

I do because I'm connected to some people who post some very good and informative articles, that's about the only reason. Sometimes, I see weird things from people others are connected to, as was this case here.
