  It means you prioritize hiring diverse candidates over regular candidates, but without lowering your hiring bar.

    > It means you prioritize hiring diverse candidates over regular candidates, but without lowering your hiring bar. This is still illegal. You cannot, outside of bona fide occupational qualification [1], prioritize the hiring any any protected class (race, gender, religion, etc.) over another. Also, care to explain the criteria for "diverse"? Answer that question and swap out "diverse" in the sentence above with your answer. Then read it aloud, and ask yourself if that's something that's legal. There's a reason why companies hide behind euphemisms like "diverse". 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bona_fide_occupational_qualification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bona_fide_occupational_qualifi...

    If you have enough passing candidates that you can do additional filtering on irrelevant reasons, that means your hiring bar is lower than it could be. Also, since when is being "diverse" a property of an individual rather than a group?

    That never happens. Once you accept the belief that you need fewer "white" men, discrimination and bar lowering always follows. Recruiters are given monetary incentives to discriminate and they find many ways to do it what claiming that they aren't. I've seen it first hand.
