This is from the WSJ, a right-wing publication pushing a political agenda rather than real, prevailing sentiment. There are companies who proscribed "We will hire from demographic A to reach B% in C years." who put too much weight on identity attributes during economic boom hire-fests, but those days won't return at least until 2030 as competency and need are now central. You can tell when some teams haven't de-biased their hiring processes when they are and remain too homologous in either thought, values, or possibly appearance. The goal of hiring shouldn't be to appease today's fashionable virtues of other people, but to hire the best who are cooperative enough to get along, regardless of what they look like or where they came from. Unless you're going to reinterview everyone, reducing bias uniformly and fairly in the now and forward must be more important than putting a thumb on the scale for the past while ignoring merit because there is no solution to bias of the past except to see if it's really happening and find ways to stop it from happening, i.e., resume contact detail blinding, normalize or drop regional writing signals, reformat resumes with the same font, ask everyone the same questions, standardizing peer interviewing format down to a grid layout with scoring, and so on.
