#2Striking headline and summary data, but I don't like that the surveyors seem cagey about releasing the full data. Why should you have to contact they to get it vs. just putting it out there for transparency?
Surely the true number isn't 0 for each, but it may not be that high - or at least people may not be as willing to be upfront or see it that way.
>Methodology >This survey was commissioned by ResumeBuilder.com and conducted online by the survey platform Pollfish on November 2, 2022. In total, 1,000 participants in the U.S. were surveyed. All participants had to pass through demographic filters to ensure they were age 18 or older, currently employed for wages or self-employed, and manage at least 25% of the hiring at their workplace. For full survey results, please contact pr@resumebuilder.com.

#3It took us 4 months to hire a woman to our team while we wasted the time of over a dozen qualified men interviewing people we knew we would not hire. I found this deeply distasteful.

I am not a lawyer, but it sounds like a potential lawsuit. I do wonder what sort of whistle blower status you could be awarded in this circumstance if any at all.

Great. Now balance this against a century or so of injustice pointing the other direction, and just honestly consider whether it might be worth it.

#6Sounds like a crap survey.
Literally, every company has been training staff to not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, national origin etc because it would run afoul of Civil rights law.
Is this a new bogeyman like the evil Jews who were conniving against the majority Germans in the 1920s as per Nazi propaganda.

So your company was violating US Civil rights? Can you name the company? Does your company have an HR department?

The lawsuit would flop if there’s more men than women in the group being hired for, since it’s absolutely permissible to correct diversity imbalances.
(I am not your lawyer, this is not legal advice.)

But the people discriminated against don't know it.

Balance it against nothing. The beneficiaries are not the same people as the victims.
