I get around age/gender discrimination by giving everyone the same entrance criteria.

1) A pre-contract assessment where they need to complete a technical challenge
2) An on-boarding phase (3 months) where all candidates go through a structured weekly program of learning/feedback and assessment.

So long as the candidate's contribution matches their salary expectation everything works out fine. Age doesn't need to come into the equation.

Oh and we don't do interviews!
