  It’d probably still flag on 1990-04-20 unfortunately, since the application probably didn’t ask for birthday, but date of birth, which would have a year.

  Honestly, if you ask for someone’s date of birth and they just give you the month and day, that’s about as useful as saying it was a Wednesday.

    Which is honestly all you should feel obligated to give them, since it’s illegal to discriminate based on age. The only potential reason an employer would need to ask for birthday during hiring is to be able to distinguish between applicants with identical names.

      It’s also important for any background checks, as well as a huge swath of tax and HR information.

      Age discrimination is super illegal, but knowing an applicants age is not.

    I just put the month name instead of the month number personally.
