Is diversity hiring in tech a good thing?
Title. I want to know the opinions of both men and women regarding this of why they are for or against diversity hiring.

A big NO. Giving women special treatment led to this diversity nonsense. In goverment jobs and seats we have reservations. Diversity is just private sector reservation.
Exactly
In fact the Quota system is much superior because it is transparent and clearly defines the extent of reservations. On the other hand, diversity hiring is opaque and creates massive grounds for distrust. No one can tell who got disqualified because they did not meet the diversh!tty targets. Do this on a big enough scale and it will be a recipe for breakdown of inter-gender relationships in the corporate sphere.
As an aside, since you mentioned reservations, Pappu led INC and INC affiliate regional parties have promised increasing reservations massively. In fact, they intend on getting reservations to the private sector too. The aim is to cripple and make a Venezuela out of us. Sick and disgusting.
Why you folks oppose diversity hiring so bad? I mean it's the best thing that can happen from an employer perspective. It provides diverse point of view in the organisation and a holistic environment. Ever heard about affirmative actions in the Ivy leagues, the Harvard ,Yale etc. They have been doing this for so long and seem to be quiet thriving despite a biased admission process. Have you techbros ever given a cursory look at the Female labour participation in India? It's abysmal and decreasing YoY. Affirmative actions towards the fairer gender was long overdue due to the historical oppression in almost all societies. Off late if software companies are prosperous enough to give women their long dues with tiny adjustments here and there, you folks are going gaga over it? Those who said "no" read history of affirmative actions employed all across the world and make your own assessments. You folks are babbling so entitled to that one freaking job because you solved a couple of DSA questions more than your girl peer and think you are more "talented" thant her? We are trying so hard to build a just egalitarian society while you techbros have a twisted sense of "equality" and "talent" dunking on people who have been given some concessions during recruitment process. Do you ever read about these matters in depth or parrot something you saw on twitter?
And one guy got offended how boys go through tougher interview than girl to get the position ๐ญ dude forget all this while write the crap
You will understand too, in due time. I was caustic too in my college time. Best of luck
Those who vote yes can they justify why?
Codeforces junky talking about "skill" as if they are going to write prod level code from day one else entire company will be shut, calm down lads both of u will be trained by the same team with same skill.
LOL who offended you. No one was talking about codeforces here or writing code. It's about girls who don't know shit (seen it happen) getting high paying jobs while their colleagues have to go through a tougher interview process to earn that spot.
I dont. But the poll results seem to have an inherent bias given the intuitive grapevine demographic split
Looks like most people in comments are still looking at diversity from a binary perspective of men and women.
No one knows or cares about transgender people.
"92 per cent of transgenders are deprived of the right to participate in any form of economic activity in the country, with even qualified ones refused jobs.
Among the respondents, around 89 per cent of transgenders said there are no jobs for even qualified ones. 50-60 per cent never attended schools and those who did face severe discrimination, according to the report. The NHRC further stated that 52 per cent transgenders were harassed by their classmates and 15 per cent by teachers, forcing them to discontinue their studies."
These are just govt stats, the reality is way worse.

All marginalized community need affirmative action. Equity >> Equality
Sadly most of India still doesn't get it, including the people here. And the irony is most of the MNCs that these GV members work in have diversity and inclusion departments and initiatives.
Clearly they're not working well enough, since these dudebros still don't know or understand why they exist.
Skilled employee based diversity? Yes. Unskilled? Pretty much no.
Hire based on competence . Idgaf if it's a man, woman or a damn Martian. If you can get shit done, you're in
A slacker, influencer, unskilled should be avoided. If they are not in this circle I'm in if you give them little edge in prioriting their interview.
in some way, diversity hiring means girls can't get that same role on the basis of their skills, do girls agree on this ?

Seeing a lot of tweets in twitter where influencers are fighting over Diversity hiring. Your views?
Is it compulsory for companies to do diversity hiring? Does it apply to private companies? What categories fall under diversity hiring, and how do you know if you are eligible for diversity hire?
Diversity hiring (bank -mnc) has gotten to a point where I am only dealing with female stakeholders now as opposed to 10 years ago where I was dealing only with male stakeholders. What a fantastic change it has been! (Not sarcasm)
