Wells Fargo is putting its diverse slate hiring guidelines on hold following a report that the policy requiring interviews with a diverse pool of candidates led to "fake interviews" with minority candidates for positions that had already been promised to someone else.

The New York Times reported last month that Joe Bruno, a former executive in the wealth management division at Wells Fargo, claimed the company would interview minority candidates for positions to adhere to an informal policy promoting diversity but noticed that the candidates were often interviewing for positions that had already been filled.

Bruno said he was fired last summer after telling his superiors that the sham interviews were "inappropriate" and "ethically and morally wrong." According to the Times, Bruno was one of seven current and former Wells Fargo employees who say they were instructed to interview "diverse" candidates even if the decision had already been made to hire a different candidate for the job.


Instituted in 2020, the bank’s “diverse slate” policy stipulated that at least half the candidates interviewed for open positions paying $100,000 or more in annual salary needed to be “diverse”

В русском сознании кандидатов интервьюировали, то есть они были обьектами, а не субьектами действия, и поэтому грамматически корректным было бы the candidates were often being interviewed. Однако собеседование - это взаимный процесс, где оба участника действия могут быть активными агентами. Aктивность как бы переносится на самих кандидатов, что не только компания их собеседовала, но и некоторым образом они собеседовали компанию. Причем в контексте статьи это даже более оправдано получилось: компания этими собеседованиями была взвешена и признана зашкварившейся.
