There’s so much fatigue around this topic that I’m rather reluctant to write about it, however I cringe everytime I read about politicians, businesses, investor/entrepreneurs preached about how they’ve hired based on diversity.
I believe hiring should be Race, Gender and Religion agnostic. One should not start off the hiring process by eliminating a certain group or on the lookout to add a particular group to the team because of diversity. Instead, hiring should be based on cultural fit and competency to fulfill the role, with EVERYONE in the society given an equal chance to display those qualities.
