HR says URM numbers goals of 2020 are at risk so need to be more aggressive in hiring, promoting and retaining URMs. New proposal makes it mandatory to have proper representation of URM in the candidates shortlisted for interview. Also interviewing team must have URM representation. HR says URM managers are more likely to hire URM candidates so more URM managers are needed.
Please advise your nonURM friends and family to stay away, if you wish well for them. I declined to forward resume of a bright non-URM kid recently.
