Most people would suggest that this statement is ridiculous but interestingly a recent report has published findings that prove just that. The Internet is now the leading source of candidate generation for companies and recruiters alike and it relies on the fact that you highly computer literate and that you have access to the Internet.
Some firms now only allow recruitment through internet applications and you have to fill out long application forms over the web to to be considered for work. There is a chance that this will be seen as discriminatory as the older population do have the access or technology to apply. With an aging population in the UK this could prove to be an interesting concept.
