Good thing there aren't more Ted Bundy's out there. People's interpretation of others can be so wrong. They didn't catch it the first time but NOW you can trust the women's "instincts" about someone? When you have women out there that consider mustaches "rapey" , I think maybe you need to just incorporate some social behavior hypotheticals into your interview questionnaire.

It's funny that you're getting downvoted given stuff like https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/jobs/blind-audition-helps-remove-gender-bias-in-recruitment. 'Creeps' is incredibly unprofessional and gives me dating vibes. What does 'creep' in this work context even mean? The way someone looks, talks? Bullshit.

Exactly. Modern societies idea that women can magically spot the "creeps" is just completely asinine. Like I said in another comment, if a women who thought mustaches were rapey worked at my potential job site and had a say in my hiring, I'd be fucked.

The fucked up thing is that blatant bias & discrimination is so common in interviews that aren't done "blindly". And it impacts women of course eg https://www.theguardian.com/money/2014/aug/12/managers-avoid-hiring-younger-women-maternity-leave.

Some recruiters are young people who don't have a lot of maturity or life experience. Being so immature I don't find it surprising they come up with idiotic reasons to reject someone, especially since many jobs have hundreds of candidates or so.
