Is it illegal to only consider “diverse” candidates for a position?
Usually it goes the opposite way of course, but I’ve heard of some companies that are obsessed with diversity having job openings that they are only going to fill if they can find a non-white or non-male candidate.
Wtf? Too many females?
Can we stop calling women females? Lmao
This sounds like complete nonsense
We need to make it illegal for diversity hiring. Stupid liberals.
It already is illegal.
A friend (asian guy from an unconventional background) and me (asian girl from a slightly more conventional background) both talked to the same company at a career fair. The lady brushed him off and brusquely told him they weren't hiring any more men. Meanwhile, I got an email and an invitation to have lunch and a first round interview. After I heard about his experience, it left a bad impression on me. Even if you're doing this, don't straight up brush people off.
Sheesh, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Did you leave wrkshp yet?
Our team cannot interview non diverse candidates. BK and the Intel MCM are so out of touch from the lower level employee needs. His stupidity is killing Intel.
Who decides if they are diverse?
Diversity means everyone who isn't straight, white/Asian males. I am pretty sure that this is right. Who defines this criteria...I don't know. ..is it Intel HR and some study by Bain Capital or the US Government? I really don't know but I can tell you that the hiring process is screwed up at Intel.
The problem with this is these diversity people think they deserve anything regardless they’re qualified or not, they don’t really need to work at all, just color of the skin will do the trick, otherwise they would sue.
we do it, but approach it cleverly ... such as, you can hire the best candidate but we're only screening candidates from a diversity fair
Up until this point you had been seeking candidates from a very fixed pool that provides a very specific type of candidates. For decades this was ok. Now you’ve switched pools and suddenly it’s not ok?
what fixed pool? in the past, we targeted specific universities. no other criteria
Don’t be white or male - intel’s CEO, probably.
It's probably illegal. That doesn't mean it is ENFORCEABLE though....
Our team is not allowed to hire white male or females until we hit our diversity "goals"
Wow, not even white females?
I thought they only show white women in promo videos of the org.
