You need a better understanding of the industries and companies that tend to hire diverse candidates. If you don’t focus your search to get info on their record with hiring minorities and diversity candidates then it will all be a shot in the dark. It won’t guarantee a hire but you’re putting yourself in a better position.
In an inclusive company it shouldn’t be held against you at all, even the fact they ask questions like this is a small gesture they care about inclusion. The reality is we don’t know the range of talent applying for roles ( or lack of range) unless people make declarations. So data like this is important to gather even if it doesn’t specifically help you - for example from an HR perspective not many female candidates, have we posted in the wrong places, are our benefits not motivating to females is our JD not written inclusively so women don’t feel it’s for them?
Similar on the disability aspect but more around do we need to support someone even in the TA process ie hard of hearing need support during interviews
That's a very good question and probably impossible to answer with any certainty. On paper, answering those questions should not be held against you. But how do we really know what happens? If a company doesn't want to hire a person with a disability, for instance, they're certainly not going to say that or put it in writing. I always answer those questions honestly, but you never really know if it's being held against you, that's just the reality of it.
I have actually heard a lot of people say that they don't fill those things in or answer them because they feel this way. I honestly would think it would help you but most people choose to leave a disability off there application for fear of it hurting them.
U.S. employers are required to ask specific questions about ethnicity, race, military service, and disability because the EEOC needs to ensure hiring managers and companies are not rejecting people due to their responses to any of these questions. Companies know they cannot force a candidate to answer the questions, so it hurts a company who cannot report accurate data to the EEOC. In addition, companies who hire disabled people, military veterans, and people currently on any form of government assistance receive a tax credit at the end of the year. I saw a job application clearly state, 'we prioritize candidates currently on unemployment or on government assistance.' This means they care more about the tax credit than the person they are hiring. If you don't have an official disability, i.e., your doctor has provided you with a disability classification that you can take to your state agency like the DMV, then you are not officially disabled. If have a medical issue but your doctor has it under control, then you are not disabled. A disability is not a matter of opinion; it must be certified by a doctor and your state.
Don’t know who’s actually seeing the data so I usually just choose “Prefer not to disclose”
