how can i not hire someone based on their age?

Hiring decisions should not be based solely on an applicant's age. The decision should consider the skill set, work experience and overall fit of the candidate regardless of their age. It is against federal law to discriminate against individuals based on their age, so any hiring decisions should be based on objectifiable criteria such as education, experience and skills. Additionally, companies can also take steps to proactively hire from a diverse talent pool, which may include members of different age groups. Ultimately, every hiring decision should be made with the best interest of the company in mind and not limited to an applicant’s age.
