How to not hire people of underrepresented groups
How to definitely, absolutely not hire people of underrepresented groups:
- “We don’t discriminate”
- “We have a generous 3-day work from the office, 2-day home office policy“ — no remote options
- Looking for rockstars with “excellent“ performance and “ambitious“ track record
- Have a leadership team composed of only white men
- Micro-aggressions in the interviews (eye rolling, remarks about the “place of origin”, etc.)
- Ask for personal details
- Not mention salary range in the ad, expect applicants to state their expectations upfront
- 8-step interview process
- A challenge or task that takes longer than 1 hour to complete
- No knowledge about accommodations
- Onboarding at a 3-day retreat in another country
What else can you do to scare great talent away?
