It's very unlikely that people of that specific nationality are always the best candidates for the job. It wastes other applicants time, it's discriminatory and creates awkward tensions in the company.
You dont find it odd when an indian / filipino / chinese manager hires only people of their ethnicity for the team?
- aristofun 4y agoBeing both immigrant and experienced developer myself, I would consider each individual case independently. Knowing how crucial is a team cohesion for any serious effort in such a complex area as software engineering - i can understand (even if not support as a candidate) this preference most of the time. Guess why — because the communication side is exactly what makes a candidate better for the job than someone else with totally different cultural background. And from my experience it rarely has to do anything with skin color, religion or anything outside communication realm (otherwise I obviously don’t support it).
- flippinburgers 4y agoSo like, the subset of people within an entire nation that are programmers (or whatever you are looking for) cannot produce a team good enough to get the job done? The only "issue" here is whether or not the chosen company language is being used effectively to communicate between teams.
