A software engineer from Queen Creek, Arizona, claimed he was the target of religious discrimination by Scottsdale-based Internet domain registrar GoDaddy.
Keith Connolly applied for a job with the company in April 2014 after a member of its talent acquisition team encouraged him.
He said he had reservations about working for GoDaddy because of its “risqué advertisements” but was eventually convinced by a recruiter.
“One of the reasons they had convinced me to go down and actually do the interview is because they had told me that their persona was changing,” Connolly said.
