Does it essentially mean that hiring managers can’t possibly have preferences toward certain professional qualities and features?
And shared language or cultural background being one of such features crucial for team cohesion and communication?
- fleetwoodsnack 4y agoThese are a priori questions: theoretical and naive. If you’re sincere about wanting an answer to your question, we in the United Stated have more or less forfeited the argument that we’re capable of discrimination without harm based on our historical treatment of minorities. Now, I know the instinct is to launch into more a priori questioning, but for every “what about…” or “if only…” there’s a historical counterpoint that shows how we (the United States), were not able to fulfill those theoretical promises or ambitions. I have some time today, so if you’d like me to trawl the archives, I can probably do some historical resurfacing for the benefit of this thread some counter examples to the idealized forms of harm-free discrimination, for more than just laughs.
- aristofun 4y agoThose were simple practical questions. As a hiring manager why can’t i give preference to someone sharing the same language and cultural background? Knowing that it will definitely benefit the team performance.
- mistrial9 4y agothere is no answer without the company, the legal obligations in your country and city, the existing team and their expectations, your leadership and their expectations, and your trade-offs between best performers, pay scale, availability, risk, internal culture and timeline, at least. The whole collection there results in "a priori" conditions, legal Latin .. meaning "what has come before"
