Assuming all candidates are equally motivated/talented and their portfolios are at the exact same level (big assumption, I know but bare with me), which would you say are agencies’ most preferred races/ethnicities to bring in diversity and in which order?

I mean, in terms of how ad agencies have “diversified” their teams in the past when forced to do so, this comes to mind. So yes, there is a hierarchy of hiring.

When it comes down to diversity, for agencies to take action effectively, they need to figure out first what kind of representation they are missing. It’s obvious that they are lacking women, black people and black women at the top but can we be more specific?

Those boxes aren’t gonna check themselves.

I think agencies should try to hire all different kinds of ethnicities. There shouldn’t be a preferred or rank them. That seems wrong.

Illegal to be so blunt about it.

I honestly don’t think it’s a thought process. But, clearly the industry is dominated by white people. When people are referred in they tend to refer their friends who tend to look like them. My group is mostly male but we are more diverse. I’m one of three white people in a group of 10.

But on the flip side, I never felt this way with my previous employer. I enjoyed my work about 85% of the time. I'm doing what I was wanting to do.
