Its both. I chose some particularly ostentatious examples to drive home you can select for whatever it is you may or may not want without subjecting your applicants to _tests_. I figured the dual-objectives would make that clear.

Some people, as well as my early education, recommended to put "objective" statements on your resume stating your literal objective in applying for the role. I'm surprised you haven't heard about them! edit: Personally I dislike them as archaic wastes of space.

And quoting you above:

> you can select for whatever it is you may or may not want...

Yes a person can do anything they want when interviewing candidates. That was never a question. The topic being discussed is what alternative method that gets you great candidates.
