My thinking is, do you want rabid fans working at the place? Or do you want people who do the job. I'm not saying Blues would be bad at it, but with me you'd have no hassle with me trying to score tickets more than once a year.

but asking if "you are a fan of a direct commercial competitor" might be.. if it ends up you don't get offered the job <whistle>
Any questions in that scenario should relate to football and not club affiliation or you leave the door open for trouble

I would presume in this case there is a wording around conflict of interest or affiliated in some means to a competitor.

If their recruiting process records showed they used that info in making a decision then they'd be paying out then they'd be paying out. That info can be requested from any company/corporation.

No personal biases should be present in interview questions, and that question is certainly only useful for excluding candidates.

The problem would be that they asked in the first place(it's like asking your sexual preference), tribunals will wonder why they ask such a question at an interview, interviewing at IBM, they won't ask you if you love HP. Apple won't ask you if you love Microsoft. It would be good if they asked that cos then they'd be over a barrel.

If they asked you that and then hired someone less qualified and competent but answered blue, you would have a decent case.

All of which avoids the simple point.

What kind of donk would make a claim based on such a nonsense premise and who in their right mind would take it seriously?

Working in IT they won't be arsed mate, if it was PR or marketing they might wnat someone with genuine passion for the club, but I doubt they'll even jokingly ask. Post if they do like <laugh>

precisely... people do.... this is why people need training in hr and first round interviews are nearly always hr doing them. second rounds really are short lists focused on who can do the job best.

We don't get involved in any interviews here. Have to do some training but most managers have common sense not to ask ridiculous question like are you gay, are you planning on having a baby soon etc.

Like me I said before, even if stupid questions do get recorded on interview notes, what you'll find is that if a request comes in to see them that the evidence will be removed by redoing the notes and just leaving out the but that could lead to a claim.
