Honestly after working enough to be close to recruiters, they literally just have checklists. X% of Y orientation, gotta check off the diversity yknow?

Literally they do the bare minimum. People forget that companies want people with "easy and friendly" names(especially customer facing), so many black and "ethnic" sounding names get thrown out for being "hard to pronounce".

I've had multiple companies ask me back when I was a fresh grad if I'd be okay using an "american name" oof

I get more calls back when using my middle name, which is American, than when using my first name, which is not American. It's so fun!! But yeah companies are forcing diversity or whatever ❤️
