[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  At my old org about three yrs ago prior to dei. I had three openings.  I interviewed several candidates for the three roles. I ended up hiring one white person and two black people. I didn't hire them bc they were white or black. I hired them bc they were competent, met my certification requirements and were polished in the interview.  I had quite a few choices to hire other people who were white, and one was latino.  But i just chose to go with the best.  Don't really care what the colour of your skin is.

I just think it's very controlling to have orgs mandate things. Just let us choose the best.  candidate.  I also think dei and the consequences of not drinking the koolaid seems borderline flirting with neo-marxism. [/quote]

Nobody is mandating hiring unqualified people.

If you announce a job and only white makes show up to interview you might want to announce jobs in a way that is going to get you more, diverse people to interview to increase your chances of finding highly qualified staff.

Thats it, that’s what diverse hiring is about. It means stop limiting your announcements to low diverse areas.[/quote]

How do you change a job posting to make white men not apply?[/quote]
PP, I think you know that nobody is suggesting that.  It is not about less white men applying.  It is about expanding the pool of applicants so that it includes more people, not less.[/quote]
