Interview questions on Religion that employers, including employers of sales professionals, are not allowed to ask under UK and European legislation.  Protect yourself by knowing the interview questions that you can and can’t ask at a sales interview.  Know the illegal questions before you begin to recruit sales staff

Just like asking an employee what colour pants they are wearing today, religion is an extremely personal subject.  Protect yourself from overstepping the boundaries but still obtain the information you need with these questions.

Illegal: "What religion do you practice?"

Religious practices affect weekend work schedules but you must refrain from asking directly about a candidate's belief. Instead ask the availability to work weekends for e.g. "What days are you available to work?"

Illegal: "Do you belong to a club or social organisation?"

This question reveals political and religious beliefs that candidates are not required to share such information with prospective employers. This question has little relation to a candidate's ability to do a job. Instead ask a question in which its wording focuses on work for e.g. "Are you a member of a professional or trade group that is relevant to our industry?"

We look forward to working with you
