The only thing that is threatened is the integrity of the hiring system.

I don't feel threatened by any of it. I just feel it is nonsense.

I prefer to call a spade a spade. Like a baseball umpire. The umpire doesn't care who's in the batters box. A ball is a ball, and a strike is a strike. There's this little thing called the official score keeper at a baseball game. The score keeper doesn't keep track of how many SWM's get a base hit. He records the outs, runs, and errors and who made them.

Lots of errors being made. We can just overlook it and call it some silly HR term. Or, we can be honest and call it for what it is. Anytime a more qualified candidate doesn't get in the door, in favor of a lesser qualified applicant, I call it an error. You can call it diversification, or whatever. It's just nonsense being packaged as some sort of way of "leveling out the playing field." Whatever....

Lots of good people recommending lots of super qualified people. They ain't getting in the door. What's your term for that?
