Explanation
The question presents a multiple-choice scenario, asking to figure out which of the mentioned activities during recruitment and selection process isn't indirectly discriminating. Indirect discrimination happens when there's a policy that applies to everyone but disadvantages a group of people who share a protected characteristic, and isn't a reasonable means of achieving a legitimate aim. Recruitment and selection could indirectly discriminate in many ways. Small print application forms could indirectly discriminate against visually impaired or the elderly; a lack of disabled access to specific areas in the workplace can act against candidates with mobility disabilities. Lastly, interview bias - freeform or favoring certain types of candidates, cultures, or backgrounds - can also result in indirect discrimination. However, a well-planned "Structured Interview", option D, which relies on questions prepared in advance, scored consistently by the interviewers, can typically help limit the potential for interview bias. A structured interview helps ensure that all candidates are provided with an equal opportunity to display their strength.So, among these options provided, option (D) "Structured Interview" is likely the only one that can't be considered as indirect discrimination.
