Is it compulsory for companies to do diversity hiring? Does it apply to private companies? What categories fall under diversity hiring, and how do you know if you are eligible for diversity hire?
Diversity hire is an American term and can be popularly heard in MNCs. In India, its equivalent would be reservation for minorities or women. It is not very common in private companies but companies do hire diverse employees to put on a good image and gain attention. LGBTQ+ categories fall under diverse hiring for India. For government or aided institutions, reservations for economically backward categories, minorities, army dependents, etc., can be some benefits that one can get.
Generally, private companies hire on the basis of skill and experience, not diversity.
Depends on company. Some have mandates. Categories are women, LGBTQ, PWD, other minorities etc. You can't know if you're a diversity hire externally.
My company is only hiring females for most of the positions. Now I dont really care about the gender/race/religion of the people getting hired but they must have right skillset and attitude.
But most of the candidates who have been hire...
Title. I want to know the opinions of both men and women regarding this of why they are for or against diversity hiring.
I have 6 years of rich experience in automation . I asked my HR that if I can refer freshers. She mentioned currently due to diversity hiring ratio is 80% female and 20 % males because these are govt orders 😡😡
