I discover this exact set of text on multiple companies' HR postings:
"We don't look for individuals who fit the culture, but those who will continue to add to the culture.
We encourage everyone to apply, especially those individuals who are underrepresented in the industry: people of color, LGBTQI+ community, women, individuals with disabilities (both seen and unseen), veterans, and people of any age or family status. "
It almost seems to be an exact copy from one playbook though these are on a number of different small companies' websites. My first guess is that this is taught in industry seminars to HR, and it feels like a religious creed.
However, what happens is the exact opposite of the stated intent - they screen out white American males, as I learned by hard experience. See comments below.
I post, having gone through some number of fruitless applications the last few months. EVERY interview I got had only managers of foreign nationalities (the tech teams are all foreign - Indian or Chinese). And the bias in HR people is kind of disconcerting - my last interview had the HR rep sit in - her name was LaTisha X. What can a white guy expect from someone with that kind of name judging them? And she blanked her video and just sat there listening but asked nothing.
Deep in this last company's website it had the liberal SJW-oriented phrases I listed here. For the hell of it I did web searches of the phrases and discover the exact same catch phrases repeated all over. The thing is, and I am not grousing for the sake of whining, I'm finding so many jobs filtered by 'we need diversity and have to help under-represented people!' then implementing 'no white guys'.
There has been a flood of "Instead of hiring for culture fit, hire for culture add" advice to HR, which seems to be a mask for 'do social justice hiring'. Down and down we spiral.
Well the hidden lining is they will starve out soon after
Well, Six Sigma popped into my head. Maybe their "Black Belts" are the ones who do this to ostensibly "adapt to culture". Probably have all sorts of models and data to support "minority" hires, but it obviously goes deeper than that.
Six Sigma just has a "hierarchy" that would make it easy to implement "forward thinking policies" in a lot of places, fast. If not them, some other HR or solutions company.
