To enable this feature, contact [support@hackerearth.com](mailto:support@hackerearth.com).* The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a federal agency that administers and enforces civil rights laws against [workplace discrimination](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workplace_discrimination). EEOC investigates discrimination complaints based on an individual's race, children, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, and genetic information. It is also illegal to discriminate against a person because the person complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit. Now, HackerEarth Assessment and Live interviews are EEO compliant. HackerEarth has always strived to practice fair and unbiased assessments.
