those are the two we are trying to determine at the moment
thats exactly why we are trying to determine from the names/experience who to interview.hiring based on one's sex is illegal!
We want to have a balanced interview process of both male and female so as not to discriminate since most of these applicants look like they have been practically taking the exact same classes/activities, but you can't straight out ask people their gender either.
Your not supposed to discriminate based on gender, so if you don't know, you can't... This is the worst reason in the world to determine gender because by definition you ARE discriminating based on gender. What your doing sounds against the law.
So if you receive 100 male applicatants, and 3 female, you will automatically interview the 3 females to stay "safe?" However, if there are 3 more qulaified males, and don't get to interview them, because you included 3 less males to accomidate the 3 females, you have discriminated against the 3 males who were not interviewed.
