My own company started in 1973. With locations in 3 states, we have had more minority employees than were the percentages in the markets we were in. If you do performanced and behavior based selection, it clearly serves the stakeholders better than when labeling people and trying to set quota objectives. I will make room for a high achiever anytime.
I can't set quotas of my own because we are not getting many candidates that are of a single nationality. One may be part asian or part arab. One recent hire was 25% native american. Another was part Spanish and part native Latin American. 25% of the hires come thru executive search firms. They dropped quotas 2 decades ago. They won't mess with it and shouldn't ever.
