Following Donald Trump's executive order to end DEI programs in federal agencies, some companies have scaled back or eliminated their DEI initiatives. Despite these changes, several hiring managers are still prioritizing diversity in their recruitment processes. Recruiters report a commitment among hiring managers to hire diverse talent, viewing it as essential for finding the best candidates. Companies that maintain their DEI commitments may gain a competitive advantage in the workforce, suggesting a shift in how DEI is perceived in corporate culture.
At some of the biggest major companies that you have seen on these lists, the same hiring managers are telling me, 'Okay, we're doubling down on my team, I don't care.'
There appeared to be a 'quiet commitment' to DEI among the companies that I worked with... hiring managers who value interviewing and hiring diverse candidates have continued doing so.
Companies that have rolled back DEI policies aren't telling hiring managers to ignore diversity; they're just taking a hands-off approach and letting hiring managers take the lead.
Firms that continue commitments to DEI could get a leg up when competing for workers.
