By its terms, § 4(a)(2) proscribes certain conduct by employers and limits its protection to employees.
Source: docroot/ir/caselaw/f3d_914.jsonl#/f3d/914/0480-01; Unicode character offsets [2643:2746] (end exclusive); SHA-256 30d2e13ce22f23a8cd68b23cbe5a9996abaa1d484ea89b0fe0d5b6469402b2a1.

Kleber en banc (7th Cir. 2019) excludes outside applicants from §623(a)(2), consistent with the Eleventh Circuit; §623(a)(1) treatment claims for applicants remain available. This jurisdiction-sensitive boundary is part of neutral-practice coverage, not a bar to all ADEA hiring claims.
