[Washington Examiner] Wells Fargo routinely interviewed women and people of color to record diversity efforts in its hiring practices despite already offering the positions to other candidates, several employees have alleged.
The banking company has a long-standing informal policy that employers interview "diverse" candidates, defined by the company as women or people of color, for open positions. However, several employees said they began to realize candidates were often interviewed for positions that had already been offered to someone else.
"You feel very uncomfortable being on the other side of that table doing an interview, and you know that candidate has a zero chance of getting the job — zero," Joe Bruno, a former Wells Fargo executive, told Action News. "These are real human beings on the other side of the table. They have families. I have a family. It’s just wrong." |
