According to the screenshots, the candidate replied that he was Muslim, following which the recruiter allegedly responded, “Not hiring Muslims due to Company terms.” The viral post accused the recruiter of discriminating against Muslim applicants for a job in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a Muslim-majority country. It also questioned the alleged hiring practice, noting that people of different faiths work across Gulf countries without religious restrictions. The screenshots have since been widely circulated on social media, attracting criticism from users who described the purported remarks as discriminatory. Capgemini’s recruitment guidelines state that employment decisions are based on merit and caution jobseekers against fraudulent recruitment activities carried out through unauthorised channels.
