I'm saying that, if one thinks diversity is important [0] at companies, then the outcomes of hiring and retention are largely (overwhelmingly) the responsibility of the hiring company. This is especially for very large hiring companies.
[0] If you don't think diversity is important, then that's another discussion altogether. In this thread I have been operating under the assumption that we agree it is important (and in fact I personally do).
That means that in my view it's just not reasonable or acceptable for a company to say "diversity is really important to us, but we tried some things like diversity training for our hiring managers, and that hasn't worked, so we looked up some statistics and we have concluded that it's a pipeline problem so we can't be expected to do anything about that."
- drdeca 7y agoI was also working under the assumption that diversity was important, or, at least, that a bias is bad. I don’t see any conflict between this and the list of options that I listed. Do you think that my list of options is missing an option, or are you refusing to pick one? If the latter, why are you refusing to pick one? Do you think that the list isn’t logically valid? I am asking simple questions which I am aiming to make as easy to answer as I can, and you seem to be dodging the questions, and are instead responding with an accusation. It is a simple question, and I left a clear option for in case the question would otherwise accidentally presuppose something false.
