While true, the hiring process itself has an outsized influence on the problem domain because everything else depends on it.
If you discriminate during the hiring stage you can confidently assert you aren't discriminating elsewhere by sheer merit of not having hired the kinds of people you are charged with discriminating against in the first place.
- treeman79 5y agoI found out after the fact that I was reluctantly hired, only with great stress because I was a white male of unspecified sexuality. They complained several times about being forced to hire me because they were in desperate need of a qualified individual. They were in deep technical trouble from over a dozen incompetent ones with one or more the “correct” checkboxes. I cleaned up the mess they had made. Then promptly quit. Biggest bunch of bigots I ever met. Female boss was extremely sexist and made it her mission to put me in my place. Owners thought this was great.
