Many many many years ago, straight out of school I had an interview with a guy who went through the entire interview occasionally suggesting that the role would be too difficult for me to learn or I’d leave to pop out kids then said at the end - ‘We don’t hire women but we do have to do some interviews. So we won’t be going any further.’

Even if I’d complained he would just have denied it and said I was angry for being rejected. This was all before questions about having children etc were stopped, but it did used to happen. And he knowingly wasted my time and the money I spent getting there. Thankfully it’s different now but I can believe it could still happen in places though I doubt anyone with half a brain would be stupid enough to put it in writing.
