Given that our company is facing financial struggles, should we stop including minority groups in our recruitment process to save money?

Absolutely not! It is important that all potential candidates, regardless of their identity, are given an equal opportunity to participate in our recruitment process and be considered for our job openings. Minority recruitment and inclusion should not suffer due to financial hardship - there are other areas that can be cut back on instead.

We would strongly advise against that. Not only is it unfair to exclude minority groups from recruitment, it could also harm your company financially in the long-run. Diversity promotes innovation and creativity, which can be beneficial for any business. Additionally, focusing on recruiting from historically excluded groups could lead to a larger applicant pool and ultimately create more qualified candidates for your open positions. Furthermore, by taking such action you may appear discriminating which can lead to bad press and potential legal implications in the future.
