you don't even know me or what I am capable of.
>>> Oh, the reading is more than enough.
By the way, how many blacks have you hired?
Only one. And that is an interesting story.
Did part time as a Corporate recruiter for three years, when the company made a special effort to hire Blacks. I covered Cal Tech, U of Illinois, Stanford,
Oregon St, U of Washington.
Looking for Computer Science, Math, Electrical and engineers. The GPA standard that came down from the top was; White kids with 3.7 or more,
Black kids with 3.2 or better. All other minorities were 3.7 or better. My own group needed about 90 people, so I had personal interest in hiring.
One Black guy with a CS at Washington and one Math guy from Stanford with the 3.2. But neither was really interested and did not accept the offers to
come interview with managers at the Lab.
About the same results with White kids with GPA over 3.7. Not really interested, where as many were interested with GPAs 3.2 - 3.5 but rules prohibited hiring them.
After my disappointing attempts to fill our own staffing, I persuaded a black lady manager in my group to take on the task the next year. But she could not find any either.
The one I hired, was not via campus recruiting and not when Corporate dictated standards. He was brought to my attention by
another manager in the Lab where I worked, a black guy who knew the kid. Yep, a marine, that made his way through U, Cal at Berkeley to get a CS degree. Don't remember what the hell his GPA was but then I did not have Corporate dictates to deal with either.
