Age Discrimination

What is Age Discrimination?

Age Discrimination, as defined by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, relates to individuals 40 years of age or older who have been discriminated against based on their age. Under the ADEA, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of their age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment including, but not limited to, hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training.

If age discrimination has affected your ability to progress in the workplace or led to a wrongful termination, JobReferences can help. With 30 years of experience as a reference checking and reference consulting company, our firm has experienced it all. This includes discrimination in every form, references divulging personal details about a former employee, HR Managers refusing to comment until the “litigation is complete,” and much more. We know how to counter age discrimination, and we can help you too. 

You’ve put time and effort into developing your resume and professional network, you’ve worked on refining your interview skills, and you’ve reached out to a network of employers and recruiters, but you’ve likely done nothing to check what your references are saying. You’ve already spent many hours trying to improve your chances of landing a job, but you’ve left a crucial area to chance. References are the final factor in who gets the job offer. Your past employers and anyone else you reported to will be contacted. Even if you haven’t experienced age discrimination in the past, you need to know what they will say.
