I’ve had job opening where I’ve had maybe 5 applicants. They were all subject to the same screening questions, all well documented and interviewed by multiple people. Usually within the first 2 questions you could tell if the person had even the slightest chance of being a good fit. Yet, we would have to continue the interview in order to be fair to all candidates. With our company’s salary (low), hiring in a competitive field, we were lucky to get any applicants. Yet we had to wait for a diverse candidate to apply. We had already interviewed the previous 5, already has them stack ranked, and as soon as a diverse candidate applied, and was dutifully interviewed, the job was offered to the most qualified. I don’t see how this is any different than what is being raised as a concern.
