Bill Gates’s private office reportedly asked some female job candidates about their sexual histories — including what kind of pornography they liked, whether they ever had extramarital affairs and even if they had nude pictures of themselves on their phones.
During Gates’s extensive screening process, a security firm also asked some women if they ever “danced for dollars,” sources told The Wall Street Journal.
Another candidate told the outlet that she was asked whether she had ever contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
It was unclear if any male candidates were asked similarly personal questions during the hiring process for Gates’s private office, called Gates Ventures, and none interviewed by The Journal said they had.
