A job applicant's age and race discrimination claims against an employer failed after an Equality Officer found he had offered speculation rather than evidence. The officer dated the decision 15 June 2017. The applicant said he had applied unsuccessfully for roles with the employer; the employer said it assessed candidates on their experience and education, and that his second application reached phone screening. The officer accepted HR managers' account of a standardised process and found no evidence of age discrimination. The applicant withdrew the marital-status ground.
