I answer the question using another question -- do I want to work at an organization who cares about that kind of stuff?
Are my "disabilities" being ranked against my abilities?
I get that everything can be a checkbox and "right fit", but if someone looks over me for not checking a diversity checkbox, I am happy to be not hired by them. Job applications and interviews are a 2 way street.
- neaden 4y agoCompanies over a certain size in the US, as well as ones that work with certain government contracts, have to report aggregate numbers about their applicants to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It is illegal for them to use this information for any hiring decisions or even to share the information with the people making the hiring decisions.

- mancerayder 4y agoOne company I know has HR specifically questioning and grilling hiring managers who turn down a 'diverse' candidate after an interview. That's a roundabout way to achieve the same.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoIt's entirely possible that they had an anti-discrimination lawsuit filed against them and this is one of the things they agreed to do as part of a settlement.
- mock-possum 4y agoyep, that's part of my worry as well, which is why I'm curious how this data is actually getting used.
