I’m a white straight male I would never fill that out.

I am Hispanic. I ponder the question of ethnicity differently depending on how diverse the agency is. It’s a very sad truth.

Once I read one that said if I didn’t fill it out and took the job it would be filled out for me by an observer. I’m a POC but racially ambiguous so I didn’t trust the observer to get my ethnicity right.

Yeah, I’m a straight white male too. While I think our industry needs more diversity in all aspects (sex, race, gender, age, etc. ), I wonder if a recruiter sees White Male on my application, they’ll just toss it to the side.

Shouldn’t it be hire the best person for the job regardless of any of those factors? Should those voluntary questions even be on applications at this point?

like

Recruiters don’t know how to hire the best person for the job. They don’t even know who is good or bad.

Recruiters selects are who they PERCEIVE will be the best one. That’s where the prejudice sneaks in.

As far as recruiters consciously filtering out white people, the number of times that happens is an order of magnitude lower than the times recruiters subconsciously ignore/dismiss/reject non-white people.

I need one help. Some recruiter asked me to send last pay slip and relieving letter even before scheduling the interview, kept calling me multiple time for this. She’s staffing for EY but she’s from vizolt (her mail ID says so)

Is this a fake call to collect information or is that how EY interviews are usually?

Does this mean I’ve been permanently black listed?

Recently interviewed at Adobe, it was great. Even the senior designer I was connected with escalated it a lot. But then suddenly after the last interview, I haven’t heard in a week from them even after multiple follow ups. Recruiter said she will reach out on Monday, but even Tuesday passed now. Should I wait a week or move on for other offers?

I was offered a Solutions Architect role with a packaging company. When discussing details with the recruiter, she specified that the salary was $60k…I was shocked to hear that number.

I gave her my target salary as $100-120k (I have 3 years experience in IT, 1 in IT Procurement, now a PM). She said the highest they would likely be able to go is $85k, but she would have to speak with the hiring managers.

I still think $85 is too low for the role. What do you think is a fair salary?
