Who knows the requirements of the job - answer - Employer
So why shouldnt the employer be able to specify EXACTLY what he/she wants from a successful recruitment. If the things you mention are critical to the job then they would be mentioned in the spec - if they are not then I guess they wouldnt be.
Regardless of your somewhat emotive response I believe that UK Employment legislation from succesive Administrations has gone TOO far in an attempt to passify Trade Unions and employees in general.
I maintain that the onus in recruitment remains with the company who want the best fit for a job NOT the expedient "PC" fit.
