It doesn't seem right to me that companies will double referral bonus when hiring minorities. Am I the only one or am I missing something here? See link in comments.

I'll give it a shot from a value add to our clients: Accenture wants our company to look more like the world around us, which means hiring more minorities (though the article points out that we're doing a better job than MSFT or INTC in this matter). Why? Diverse teams bring better solutions and consultants have been known to respond to economic incentives a little more sensitively than the average bloke.

@ACN 2 Yes, but the bonus structure specifically applies to underrepresented minorities, of which those two aren't a part.
