Your salary ranges are too low. In fact you should start with double the max as your low range.

This is why there is a mysterious shortage of 'skilled' workers in Spain.

Minimum wage low skill jobs pay more than this in the US. Heck, your workers would be better off in the rest of the EU or at least the UK.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, for India only Tier A college graduates. :/

That would be illegal in the U.S. Uber shouldn't even do this for international office.

I'm not certain but it appears that it is not illegal to discriminate based on the school's ranking in the hiring process. It would, however, be illegal if it were based on a demographic stereotype a school is associated with.

That said, it still might not be a good idea to reject people just based on their school's rank.
