In order to legally favor younger employees during hiring processes, it is important to stick to certain principles. First, any age-based criteria used for hiring must be job related and necessary for the positions being filled. Employers should also ensure that younger employees are paid fairly and that any promotion opportunities are offered in a non-discriminatory manner. Finally, it is important to remain consistent with their age-based criteria and apply it equally for all prospective employees.

There are no explicit laws barring employers from giving preference to younger employees in hiring decisions. As such, companies could set specific age limits for certain roles, but must ensure that they aren't discriminating against older applicants. It may also be beneficial to give preferences to those with fewer years of experience and invest in the training and development of young talent as this can lead to future productivity gains. Companies should always use a systematic approach for selecting the best applicant, ensuring that objective criteria is applied fairly and consistently regardless of age.
