FYI Women and PoC:

I have put White, Straight, male, no disabilities, blonde hair, blue eyes since graduating college a decade ago, and I’ve only been employed at ad-age Top 10s.
Don’t ever believe that info is being privately passed on from the system to the government to ensure fair hiring. Maybe that was true up until the Obama years, but not today.

Extremely common and typically required by the EEOC (contingent on company size if I recall.) Supposed to be anonymized and used only for statistical reporting.

Job applicants sometimes aren’t aware of or don’t trust the above. How you respond is a personal choice but you typically have a β€œchoose not to disclose” option.

You don’t have to provide the answer, and the company doesn’t get to see your answers in the decision process. This is so the government can keep tabs on whether the company has a trend of not hiring people in protected classes.
