I submitted my resume to a job board. I was contacted by HR within 2 days for a telephone screen. I spoke with HR by phone and was told at the end they will arrange for a telephone interview with the Executive filling the position. The executive's 2nd set of questions - do you have kids, how many, how old? The rest of the interview was standard but having an HR background, I know this is not legal. Within 5 minutes of ending the interview, I received the standard email thanking me for my interest but they are proceeding with other candidates. I emailed the HR person who initially contacted me and thanked him for the opportunity to interview by phone and stated that I understand the difficulty of filling such of important position. I also told him about the family questions. I was surprised to receive a response - but he responded "Thank you for the feedback. I will follow-up internally."
