I have been applying for administrative assistant / clerical jobs on Craigslist and Indeed.
I received a call from the recruiter this morning telling me that the client company a pharmaceutical company is requiring a copy of my photo ID along with the resume.
I have worked in jobs that require a security clearance, and nobody did this.
What is the point of this?
From my point of view, I am concerned about identity theft primarily but it has crossed my mind that the photo ID can be used for discriminatory purposes, i.e. race and approximate age of the individual.
Thoughts?
