I started a sports betting company that turned into an analytics company. We had zero women or minority (other than asian) employees or even applicants. One new employee became vocal about it, so he was made our "diversity officer". He was made part of our recruiting division and was present in every interview. We got one (white) woman employee. She quit soon after joining. Now there is an opening for a "diversity officer" inside the company. No takers yet.

Maybe a blind interview should satisfy technical requirements, and then the candidate meets the team in person.
But then you're back into the old cultural fit/bias questions, right?
Perhaps, but at least by that point one can't weasel out by saying that the candidate wasn't technically qualified.
