I’m at a 1000 person org and this is also how we hire. We have KPIs for “diversity” and the entire company gets a huge bonus when we meet all our targets, so there is a incentive all the way from the CEO to panel ICs.
- random314 7y agoThere are certainly a bunch of freshly created accounts on HN, all corroborating each other. Very funny - can you name this 1000 person org/company.
- DonHopkins 7y agoIt would be nice to know that the Агентство интернет-исследований (Internet Research Agency) has KPIs for “diversity”. It must be really hard to hire non-white and openly LGBTQ people in Saint Petersburg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency
- dkdk8283 7y agoI routinely rotate accounts to avoid identification, sorry, but I’m not willing to name the business. Timing is coincidence to my comment. I can say I have 9 years of employment at this company and I’m intimately familiar with the internal politics.
- random314 7y agoWhy are you unwilling to name the business, one with over 1000 employees. It would have been understandable if the company had 10 employees not 1000. Your claims fail the sniff test. The downvotes on my comment show pretty clearly that there is sockpuppeting going on.

- senordevnyc 7y ago“This is the way we hire”, but what you’re describing doesn’t at all match what the comment you’re replying to describes. It sounds like you both are interpreting two different sets of facts to tell yourself the same story of “blatant discrimination”. I don’t see it, personally.
- badfrog 7y agoDiversity goals don't necessarily imply discrimination against non-minorities. There are many completely reasonable ways to work toward such goals.
- dangero 7y agoThe comment you are replying to mentions more than a diversity goal. It mentions a financial incentive for hiring minorities. Can you give an example of how that would not create discrimination?
- lazyasciiart 7y agoIt could exist in a world where people start with systemic encouragement to not hire minorities, and so the financial incentive to do so only manages to shift their practices enough to end the existing discriminatory habits.
