[quote=Anonymous][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]

Except don't diversity can be like trying to squeeze blood from a stone.  Black people are only 13% of the population, yet these days try to push for diversity like they want half the staff to be black.  It's literally a mathematical impossibility for organizations to hire that much diverse staff because the numbers in the overall population simply aren't there.  On top of that,.you have to consider less than 20% of all black men have a college degree.  That means less than 20% of only half (i.e.. black men) of 13% of the entire US population has enough education to meet most job requirements in the corporate world in order to meet DEI initiatives.

Companies get so desperate due to lack of numbers available to meet DEI goals that it ends up being a push to hire unqualified or under qualified individuals simply due to the need to meet race based quotas.  It's simply a numbers game that makes DEI an impossible task to do fairly.  [/quote]

Nobody is requiring a 50% black staff.

You make up insane metrics nobody is asking for and say they are insane … yes you’re right your metrics are insane and …. NOBODY IS REQUIRING THAT METRIC.[/quote]
