> Exactly. The goal is to broaden the hiring pool. Some companies are limiting their hiring pool to people close to the people already on board, their old-boys network, or to people who look like they'd fit in.
what a weird rationalization. So these companies purposefully hire someone they deem better for whatever reason and the EU decides for them that they are wrong. This has to go badly, the EU via a continent-wide policy does not in fact know better than the individual entrepreneur. To deny this is a wild theory to say the least. Also the hiring pool right now was: Everyone. Now the new mandated policy is actually limiting the pool in specific circumstances depending on who already works there. Weird how casually people choose to distort truth.
- mcv 4y ago> So these companies purposefully hire someone they deem better for whatever reason and the EU decides for them that they are wrong. Quite the opposite. Read again what you quoted. These companies limit their hiring pool, and the EU tells them to broaden it. They will find better candidates that way. They'll be forced to look beyond their old-boys networks and immediate surroundings. > Also the hiring pool right now was: Everyone. Sorry, but that is incredibly naive.
- Nathanba 4y agothat is not true, the companies have an unlimited hiring pool today and the EU tells them to limit it to specific genders given some conditions. You can't remake reality just by rewording things. Your theory that all these companies are arbitrarily and irrationally limiting their viable hiring pool and hurting themselves in sexist confusion is a wild theory that has no basis in reality beyond just not liking the statistical hiring results.
