[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 03-14-02 AT 01:29PM (CST)[/font][p]In order to obtain most of the positions within our company, you must be able to obtain an US Security Clearance. In order to obtain a clearance, you need to be a US Citizen. Now when it comes to interviewing/hiring, may you state this? It is a BFOQ for certain positions.
I was at an internship fair where 90% of the individuals I spoke with were of forigen nationality. I did not want to ask them if the were US Citizens, but instead received about 200 resumes of which I am unsure I can even use. I don't want to have to spend the time bringing them in and then realizing that they won't be able to work for us.
Is there any way to get around this. I don't want to discriminate, but don't want to spend unnecessary time interviewing candidates that won't be able to work for us.
If anyone has any information/input on this topic can you please let me know.
Thanks.
