THE NEW TOP JOB QUALIFICATION: VACCINATED

As organizations continue to debate vaccine mandates for employees, job
candidates are listing their vaccination status on resumes and LinkedIn
profiles.

At the top of her resume, the candidate listed the attributes she thought would
get her most noticed by the recruiter. She had an MBA from Harvard. She worked
five years in investment banking. And she was vaccinated for COVID-19.

Two years ago, a candidate would more likely list their favorite sports team on
their resume than they would their vaccination status. But as the pandemic
persists, many candidates are debating whether to put their vaccination status
out in the open as they search for jobs. A LinkedIn search on Monday, the day
the US government fully approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, showed
that more than 13,000 members listed themselves as vaccinated in their
professional profiles. Rather than viewing it as a violation of their privacy,
some candidates see disclosing their vaccination status as a way to show their
eagerness to take on a role. “You are seeing some people do this voluntarily, as
a way to say that they want to work at this job,” says Brian Bloom, Korn Ferry’s
vice president of global benefits.

In doing so, the candidates themselves are placing at the forefront a thorny
problem for employers. With more than 10 million open roles in the United States
alone, some employers are desperate to bring in talent. But they also have to
balance the need to fill roles with the health and safety of their customers and
employees. About 52% of the US population is fully vaccinated, although the
level is below 50% in 25 states. “I see that this could start a trend,” says Val
Olson, a career coach for Korn Ferry Advance, referring to listing vaccination
status.

Whether it’s disclosed on a resume or not, experts say it’s clear that employers
increasingly want to know if potential candidates have had the shots. While it’s
legally murky if companies can ask a candidate whether they had COVID-19, they
can ask whether a job candidate has been vaccinated and even make being
vaccinated a requirement for a role. “Employees have the choice of not hiring
you if you’re not vaccinated,” says Bloom. Candidates can decline to disclose
whether they’ve gotten a shot, but that could impact their chance of being
hired.

Experts say that from a practical standpoint, it’s somewhat easier to mandate
vaccinations for new employees rather than for existing employees. Even if
there’s no mandate, at least three states—California, Oregon, and New
Jersey—require that companies track the vaccination status of their employees.

Organizations are finding that there’s a wide swath of people who would be great
fits for roles but who are not vaccinated. Bradford Frank, a Korn Ferry senior
client partner in the firm’s Global Technology practice, says he was working
with a CEO candidate who wanted to bring in a new human resources boss and
impose a vaccination mandate for his firm’s 1,800 corporate headquarters
employees. But the CHRO candidate told the CEO she wasn’t vaccinated and
wouldn’t get vaccinated. “It made us think whether we have to ask candidates of
their vaccination status,” Frank says.

Still, experts say automatically disqualifying unvaccinated candidates could
have a detrimental impact on an organization’s efforts to be more inclusive,
since some minority groups are disproportionately unvaccinated, says Andrés
Tapia, Korn Ferry’s global strategist for diversity, equity, and inclusion. “If
you are going to make something a requirement, you are going to have to make it
easier to make the requirement,” he says. That means companies that decide on
mandates should consider having vaccinations administered at the workplace for
current employees and new recruits while also offering education programs backed
by scientific research and delivered by local medical experts.
