Microsoft-owned LinkedIn has changed its global policy for job postings after Brazilian authorities flagged the removal of postings on its platform that was exclusive to black and indigenous professionals.

The professional networking website faced severe criticism for excluding a job opening by the Centre for the Analysis of Freedom and Authoritarianism in Brazil.

In the job posting, the Brazilian organization expressed preference for black and indigenous candidates in the selection process, reports ZDNet.

We have updated our global job posting policy to allow publication of publications that express a preference for professionals from historically disadvantaged groups in hiring in countries where this practice is considered legal – company said in a statement late on Tuesday.

LinkedIn’s global policy prohibits job postings discrimination based on age, gender, disability, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation.

After the job vacancy was removed, the platform received severe criticism from its Brazilian users.

“In Brazil, affirmative vacancies are now allowed, including [job postings] for black and indigenous people. We appreciate the feedback we have received from our community in Brazil,” said LinkedIn.

LinkedIn was also notified by the consumer protection agency Procon-SP, who requested the professional networking website to clarify the job posting process.
