Although the debate still goes on about whether job seekers’ tattoos matter or not, employers and co-workers continue to pay attention to candidates’ appearances. Recruiter Amanda Dobson told Recruitment Grapevine that one of her candidates that is well-qualified with exceptional experience. He passed both the first and second interview, until the clients saw the tattoos. “Halfway through, my candidate rolled up his sleeve because it was quite warm and he had tattoos on his arm,” Dobson says. Afterwards, the client stated that the candidate was great but not “a good fit for the company”. Some might argue that employers have the right to not hire workers with tattoos. Matt Wheeler at the executive search firm Granger Reis said: “Tattoos are not the same as gender, skin color or ethnicity, those you have no choice over. Tattoos are something that you choose to do.” (recruitmentgrapevine.com)
