The article referenced on this one, regarding company culture, is spot on for my current role and company.

But the author's observation of 'make hay while the sun is out ' is spot on.

Shame on company middle managers perpetuating this mindset, but i cant help think such discriminatiom is a cost optimization habit. How are recruitors punished for categorically dismissing a demographic?

I understand how the company is hurt, but how is the recruitor, the gatekeeper, incentivized to NOT be dismissive?
