There is a guy at my gym I run into quite a bit who is some type of employment recruiter and was talking to another person in the sauna about disqualifying candidates based on speeding infractions. He said the guy had a speeding (apparently not reckless) ticket back in 2007 and that his client frowned on that. He also said the same candidates was in an at-fault accident, but it didn't sound like drugs/alcohol were factors or that there was bodily injury.
When did recruiters start disqualifying candidates over such seemingly minor traffic infractions?

If driving is a basic requirement for the job, I don't see how this is unfair.
I am pretty sure he recruits engineers/technical people from what conversations I've overheard with him before. It didn't seem like driving was part of the job, though it very well could be.

If it is one where driving is required - yes....
If it is an engineer then he is being stupid.
It sounds like his client is requiring it, so he is doing good business and meeting his clients requests.

They have a HUGE employee base from which to choose......they can be choosy.
Now that there are 5 million more legal workers in America, you will likely see more of this.

I work for a utility engineering firm. We (engineering dept) are all required to drive to job sites every now and then, using company trucks.
My friend is a Structural Engineer. He is sometimes required to drive to job sites as well.
I don't understand how he "is being stupid."
Most engineering firms require the engineers to drive, at least on some occasions.
