I recently saw a job opening at a company that I really love, and would like to apply. The recruiter has posted it on her Linkedin several times, each time with multiple hashtags about diversity. I am straight off the Mayflower white. Does applying look super tone-deaf? Is this an unofficial way of stating that they’re only considering non-white individuals for the role?

I don’t know the answer to this but diversity should be (and hopefully is) about more than race

I don't think it would be inappropriate to apply! Unless it's phrased as something like "Prioritization will be given to diverse candidates". If it's simply a statement that the company values diversity and inclusion, then I say it's just another green flag for the company.

Apply for everything & I mean everything!! You have nothing to lose, we are all trying to diversify our staff but that does not make you irrelevant!!! In the long run if it’s the right company & you can get through the interview you will be a good contender for the role. DO NOT let anything stop you from trying!!!!

Apply, they’re likely open to all candidates and this is just one way of attracting diversity

You should apply if only as a protest.

Please apply, if you haven’t already…
Diversity in talent is so important and very much a part of what everyone is looking to improve.

Failing yourself by not giving yourself a shot, doesn’t help anyone win either.

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??
