Two thoughts on that: Yes, that is an overcorrection on representation. Many places that are highlighted are having things like 1-3% black employees in any capacity. Yeah getting that to 13% with qualified people would be neat! Secondly, when it comes to being above the national average I think the local area should be considered. When having a company in an area with a greater % of minorities already, with credentials and other marketable skills, then its not really proportionally. Obviously only if the goal is to be equitable or brag about being equitable, as this kind of proportion would be at the expense of the white population national average. The main goal is to recruit from areas that are being overlooked. There are plenty, they exist. Not just pester a minority that a recruiter found.
