Someone applies for a job. Do you hire the person who is qualified and has the ability to get the job done OR do you hire based on color to bring more diversity to your business ?

ABILITY HANDS DOWN. Speaking from past experience in other jobs, diversity just leads to other issues...anything that is criticized because of lack of ability is automatically categorized as racism. Just my opinion.

Ability first. Diversity second. I think both are crucial to a well rounded company, but a person has to have the ability to do the job as well. I am not going to hire someone to meet a "Quota". That would not be fair to that person to be hired because of his race and not his ability. Another component though is compatibility. If I think a person who does have less ability, but is very compatible to the people in my company I will hire them.

Ability of course. I want the most quality in my job. I'm not going to hire someone based on color if thy can't do the job.

I would definately hire the person with the ability. But are u sure the person based on color doesn't have that? Make sure that u r sure that the person u choose has the ability or else its kind of racist

I consider ability with everyone that I interview. I have never been instructed by the higher ups to bring in more diversity.

I would hire the ability to get the job done. I have worked with incompetents and it bogs down the whole work place.

I would'nt "give" a job to satisfy diversity.
"Race" gets nothing special from me...attitude and skills earn the position.

I personally like purple people.
Just kidding. Ability. Race Age Sex that "stuff" doesn't matter.

Work is about profit. Ability is much more important.
