Sounds a lot like discriminative hiring. Isn't that illegal in the us?
how about racial biases in hiring? no hiring is completely meritocratic, even in tech
Based on what? Racist misconceptions about how hiring processes work?
You cannot hire by not discriminating. It's by default a task that discriminates.
Seems like you could fix that by not relying on what hiring managers think and say, since neither of those necessarily correspond to what they actually choose to hire. After all, no hiring manager will admit to discriminating on race, age, caste, etc... But all of those have been newsworthy factors in the recent past.
The entire hiring process is an act of discrimination. What's the alternative? Hire everybody that applies?
Doesn't telling the recruiters that suggests they should take a skin color or gender when making their decisions? That sounds pretty bad to me and would be illegal in my country.
so essentially you want to be known as company which discriminate white people and men in particular and prefer gender or race over several skills, good luck with such reputation, be sure I will always choose company not known for having these practices when shopping around
It sounds like they are splitting hairs to say that they aren't discriminating in hiring, but in the candidate pool they gather.
Try to improve their hiring process without focusing on hiring minorities?
