And checking the proper blocks on an application.

When I worked for a large oilfield company, I had to justify why I didn't hire any women who applied. Sad but true.

I hired every single QUALIFIED woman who applied. Some lasted, some didn't.

But when you have no degree and are applying for a job that has "BS or higher degree in Geology, Engineering or the Physical Sciences" and you have an Associates in Business, I'm going to not hire you, then call HR for wasting my time.

But yes, diversity is a mission in big business. Because the government said it is. And woe to the hiring manager who can't back up his decision to not hire a woman or minority with quantifiable facts.

Now I just fly the plane, and the hiring is someone else's nightmare, until they make it mine. Which has rarely happened when they hire someone who has the logbook but not the skills to succeed.
