My company has recently implemented a policy of prioritizing male candidates when hiring, even if they are less qualified than female candidates. Is this legal?

No, this is not legal. In the United States, it is illegal to discriminate against female job applicants on the basis of their gender. This means that employers cannot prioritize male candidates over qualified females, nor can they refuse to consider a woman for a position because of her gender. If your company is found to be engaging in this type of discrimination, it may be held liable in a civil lawsuit.

No, this practice is not legal. In the U.S., it is illegal to discriminate against female candidates when hiring, so this policy of prioritizing male candidates is prohibited.
