Pretty standard in Germany, particularly for permie interviews. Have been asked a couple of times for contracts and just tell them that I don't have a camera or scanner.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I have never been asked, but like others have said copies of passport etc after an offer or during an interview are not uncommon. If asked I would just say something along the lines of, I can provide one at the interview etc or something along those lines.Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

Look on it this way
When you go for a face to face interview the criteria will (should) be
- Can you do the job?
- Will you fit into the team?
The CV should take care of 1
Would you want to waste time attending an interview if there was some hidden criteria for 2?
Yes I know its wrong
Yes I know its discriminatory
Yes I know it's illegal
But would you want to waste your time (assuming you don't match the criteria) if the client wants to filter on Age/Colour/Dress Sense/Attractiveness/etc ???How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment
