those are the two we are trying to determine at the moment

hiring based on one's sex is illegal!
thats exactly why we are trying to determine from the names/experience who to interview.
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.

Hire americans. Deport the rest.

I work at a company where 80% of the employees are Indian or Chinese. It sucks. I hate walking down the halls and smelling the stink of curry all over the place, not to mention the fact that half of them don't speak english. Leave the american jobs to americans. The rest can go home.

That's all just my opinion, of course 😉

You may be working with 80% Indian/Chinese, but it only takes 1% of your fellow employees to stink up the whole place, so try not to generalize, mmmkay?
/non-smelly Indian and proud.

Unfortunately, most of them smell. I know I'm generalizing, but in my case, it's true. I'm not trying to be prejudice either; I simply feel that americans should be the first to get jobs in america, not some foreigner who's just gonna leave the country when he decides he's made enough money. How does that help the economy?

At my work...Raj, Vikram, Arun, Sameer, Subir, Vinod, Rakesh, Bharat, Ganesh, Saurabh, Pankaj are all dudes..

Kalpana &amp; Prameela are women
 
Again, look at the endings of the names, ***a =female. ***(consonant, esp -SH)=male

These of course aren't solid rules, but it's a good way to guess.
