Virginia tech company pays $38K to settle allegations over whites-only job listing

A northern Virginia tech company is paying $38,500 to settle claims that it discriminated by posting a job listing seeking white, U.S.-born candidates for an opening as a business analyst. The Justice Department announced Thursday that it had reached a settlement agreement with Arthur Grand Technologies, an information technology firm in Ashburn, Virginia.

The agreement also requires Arthur Grand to train its personnel on the requirements of the federal hiring and discrimination laws and revise its employment policies. In 2019, another northern Virginia tech firm, Cynet Systems, apologized after posting an online ad seeking 'preferably Caucasian' applicants for an account manager job in Florida.
