Illegal Requirements Letter
Course Project 2 – Illegal Requirements Letter
Congratulations! Your CEO has approved your proposal in the hiring of a new position of Claims Supervisor. There’s just one problem; your CEO has told you the “type” of person to hire with an explanation in parenthesis:
- Male (supervising mostly men)
- Aged 35 (shows experience and maturity)
- Single, no children (due to the hours the position will require)
- 5 Years’ experience as Supervisor (less training needed)
- From the same industry (familiar with the terminology, vendors, etc.)
- Master’s degree in Business (Supervisor role)

Remember, you are the HR Manager and you are writing to the CEO so use a tone in your letter that is specific to your audience (the CEO). You also need to be persuasive.
- Include an APA formatted title page and reference page with at least 2 credible sources. Make sure to include APA in-text citations for any information used from outside sources.
