[QUOTE="Myrdin Potter, post: 8931538, member: 6843593"] This is like HR 101 today. I think when the Orion Black situation blew up, HQ finally sent / ensured that there was a responsible HR practice. Hard to applaud a company the size of Hasbro for doing something that has been standard practice for at least a decade, but at least they changed. This is how I made sure my pool was diverse like 20 years ago. My recruiting instructions were “make sure that the pool we will be reviewing is representative of the place where we are recruiting for and qualified.” The only moral question I had (and have) for myself when making the final decision on who I picked is that maybe I had a slight bias for people that looked or were different than me (CIS Male). I figured that part of the interview process is an emotional reaction about fit and I probably liked people like me more easily so anyone not like me that made it to the decision had overcome that potential bias as well as doing well in the interviews. I believe (and could be wrong) that previous to a better and more fair to everyone process at WoTC, they were not that professional. I am glad that they are hiring a good pool of designers and the process makes sure that they have a good chance to hire a diverse pool of qualified people. [/QUOTE]
