> When we did campus recruiting recruiters told us (the alumni engineers) to mark candidates resumes with a star for women or URM, two stars for women + URM, and "ND" for asian males - "Negative Diversity". Here in America that's completely illegal. > The reality was probably that for liability reasons HR didn't want us talking about this openly. That's a very polite way of saying they knew what they were doing was illegal and they didn't want to get caught. > Recruiter bonus policies, which included a diversity bonus for each diverse hire was also publicly accessible. So at the end of the year, there was absolutely no incentive for HR to pressure someone into hiring a lesser but diverse candidate to reach their quotas and cash that bonus. Totally unbiased.
