I applied to a tech company for remote work. This is a role I'm interested in, and there aren't many similar alternatives for such role.

After the initial technical tests (I scored very high) and before any interactive communication, I'm asked to fill out a form including the following:

• Marital status


• Children - how many


• Date of birth

Not to mention nationality, home address, last 2 employers - their contact numbers, 3 references.

Is this any normal?

I'm thinking of filling out the form partially and saying something like "willing to provide the rest of it in further stages"

Note: I've seen Contract complete and client now asking for lots of personal info and Why job applications require lots of personal info and is there anything to do about it?. I've never even heard before anyone being asked "how many kids, .."

EDIT - Company location

Latin American company with headquarter in San Francisco, California. I don't know what to make out of this.

  Please add in what country or region this is? (In many jurisdictions that I know of, it's either illegal to ask or could be asked in theory but they would have to be very sure they aren't using it as the basis of discrimination). I'm in the UK and have not been asked about marital status or number (if any) of children for many many years. I'm less sure about date of birth though.

  A country tag would be helpful. US companies are eager to make sure that they don't have that sort of information so that they can't be accused of using it to discriminate. Other countries may have different regimes

Is this any normal?

You mention that this in in Latin America.

It is not rare to be asked those kinds of questions around here. The marriage status is really common. The kids question not so common but also not rare to see now and then.

Perhaps, like someone said in comments, they are just following their HR hiring guide/questions to the letter.

Now, the thing here is that you must decide if you are willing to disclose such information or not. If you feel like not, then you should thank them for their time and move on and continue job-hunting.
