I’ve been a hiring manager for over a decade. We have a robust DEI program. Not once has there been a quota.
And in fact, the hiring process is really bad at finding the “best” candidate, whatever that is. How can a few hours in an interview tell you about someone’s work ethic or abilities?
Your understanding of the hiring process is horribly naive. There is no best person for the job. It’s not a puzzle and pieces. You meet lots of people and do your best to find someone who can do the work. And you do so, knowing that people and process DO have built in biases because everything does. There’s no magic perfect fair process.
You WANT to believe it’s merit based and there’s quotas. But reality isn’t like that.
