I've never really put much thought into it before but the gender, race question on an application, do you think it makes a difference if I opt out? I know "legally" they cannot discriminate but biases are a real thing. Has anyone opted out when applying for a job? Asking if for an African American woman looking for employment and not having much luck.

As a black woman sometimes I state it, sometimes I opt out, and sometimes I put white man. I haven’t noticed much of a difference with whether or not people get back to me though.

Are you talking the application part or creating your account to apply on their system or the demographics “survey” portion?

I typically do what EY does on the tail end demographics survey.

I respond to the Gender, however, lately I have 'declined to answer' for the race to see if it makes a difference. I am a Veteran so that holds. Also opting out of the disability.

If it is a large company, suggest you opt in. It can only do you favours. If someone is racist against you on a trait thats visually presumptive, itll happen anyway.

I’ve been interviewing with Google since July. Passed the first interview but the team I was matched with ended up hiring someone else. Recruiter told me that she will let me know if any other opportunities arise as I’m still in the running and haven’t been rejected. I know that interviewing with google is a long process but I’m worried the longer I wait the more likely I will be rejected or just never hear back. Anyone else in this situation? How long until you got an offer?

I am far along in the interview process for a job I want (meeting with Chief Legal Officer next week), but am still accepting other interviews until I have a formal offer. However, I have an interview scheduled for early this week where, after further research, I don’t think I would be very happy. Should I let the recruiter know that now, or just do the interview for more “practice”? Thanks!

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
