> What’s your process for making sure you have diversity in other ways? This can be a delicate subject. I don't like forced diversity for diversity's sake. I think it's demeaning. It says "I would not normally hire you because you are not really qualified for the job but I will because I need to show I have at least 2.25 people in the company with neck tattoo's". This, I think, is truer in technical fields where it is vitally important that the candidate have the requisite knowledge, skills, cultural fit and other criteria for the job. Would you rather have the airbag in your car designed by a fully qualified engineer hired purely on merit, experience and capabilities or by a lesser qualified engineer with neck tattoo's who got in because of a need (legal or not) to ensure diversity? I'll take option number one please. This is not anti-women or anti-minority at all, this is anti-non-qualified candidate. Now, all qualifications being equal, what do you do? Well, that's a good one. Do you favor a woman over a man? Do you favor an attractive woman over another, less attractive woman? Do you favor one race or culture over another? What's your moral or ethical compass tell you? Do you need laws to force the right decision? As I said, it's a delicate subject. I have worked with people of all ages, races, cultures, gender, gay, straight and even trans-sexual. I couldn't point out a pattern if my life depended on it. For example, I worked with this brilliant engineer who would literally throw desktop phones across the room when angry. Another was quiet and somewhat socially inept yet exhibited incredible dedication to the job. And then there were some who just floated by. Notice I never mentioned age, gender, race or any other differentiator of that kind. If you think of them as people and don't favor or disqualify anyone based on some artificially imposed metric I think you are on the right track.
