I have 6 years of rich experience in automation . I asked my HR that if I can refer freshers. She mentioned currently due to diversity hiring ratio is 80% female and 20 % males because these are govt orders 😡😡
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?
