>Hiring a white male is basically a nonstarter without prostrating yourself before HR
I struggle to believe what I'm reading.
I'm just curious what people of future will think about this.
- itronitron 5y agoIn most companies hiring anyone requires some form of prostration to HR, so a little extra work to hire a white male is not going to slow anyone down. A friend of mine works in a large organization in which the head passed down a rule that only women would be hired for positions 'unless' the only available qualified candidate happened to be male. Can you guess what happened? It hasn't increased the relative number of women hired but now everyone thinks the men are extra special.
- tester34 5y agoThe thing kinda is, that it's not only male/female thing, but race's also involved. Biases biases and biases. I think we should try to reach equal opportunity by providing access to edu, mentors maybe, an ability to prove themselves, not this kind of "discrimination".
- raxxorrax 5y agoExactly, it sets anyone up to failure that would only slightly be under suspicion to have profited from these decisions. Not only by judgement from others, it also undermines the faith of the candidates themselves.
