Targetting underrepresented candidates and trying to change the top of funnel (the focus of most DEI effort) is independent from changing the hiring criteria.

Targetting underrepresented candidates and trying to change the top of funnel (the focus of most DEI effort) is independent from changing the hiring criteria.
- gruez 4y agoThis seems to be an area where the supposed goals of DEI (increased diversity) align with expected business behavior (ie. trying to expand the applicant pool to get better talent and/or reduce costs). That's a good argument for keeping DEI, but also a good argument for getting rid of DEI and telling recruiters/managers to just do their jobs (ie. trying to find candidates wherever you can, whether they're an white appalachian coal miner or a visible minority from the inner cities).
