‘Sexual’ Questions Asked to Women Who Will Work With Bill Gates

Gates Ventures, the “private office” of Microsoft’s retired founder Bill Gates, established in 2008 and still operating today, came up with an interesting claim. Sources speaking to the Wall Street Journalstated that Gates Ventures’ job interviews asked women very specific questions about their sexual life.

These questions were not asked directly by Gates Ventures executives, but by Concentric Advisors, the consulting firm responsible for interviewing candidates for recruitment. But sexual questions only female candidates created controversy.

According to the information shared by the women who entered the job interviews with the Wall Street Journal, questions were asked about the following subjects:

• Previous extramarital affairs
• Whether they have nude pictures of themselves on their cell phones
• Preferred type of porn
• Whether they danced for money before
• Whether you have a sexually transmitted disease

According to the claims of the candidates, these questions are intended to blackmail:

Candidates who said that they were asked these questions made another claim. Managers to those who will work closely with Gates trying to find information that could be used to blackmail they stated.

Moreover, the answers to these questions had contradictions in the job interview agreement. Although candidates agree to share details such as drug and alcohol use and health history with the company, more sensitive information such as sexually transmitted diseases, not covered by this agreement.

A statement came from Gates Ventures:

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, a Gates Ventures spokesperson shared that they did not know that such questions were asked in the interviews. On the other hand, the questions asked that it is unacceptableHe also stated that he violated the agreement.

Consulting firm Concentric, on the other hand, did not make a statement to any organization.
