> DEI does not mean hiring quotas where you refuse to fill open spots, it means proactively reaching out to find talent in non-traditional areas I've worked at companies that do exactly this with quotas of a minimum number of underrepresented candidates who must be interviewed before filling the position, even if the positions all end up going to white or asian men. It can take a very long time to fill a position under those rules. I don't think this is a bad policy in principle, but an unintended consequence is often understaffing in the short to medium term.
