Ironically, I work in EDI as my area of specialism, an area where you would think that those advertising contract and interim roles would know better. They don’t. They default to full time only. Whole swathes of potential employees/contractors are automatically excluded. There are many reasons why people aren’t in a position to work full time – disability being another example. It’s an example of thoughtless indirect discrimination which I very much doubt has gone through the ‘ objective justification’ test!
