We can legally favor certain candidates based on their race during recruitment by adopting a targeted referral program. This would involve actively reaching out to universities and organizations that represent racial minority groups and providing them with positions that we are seeking to fill, as well as information about our company and the roles we are looking to fill. Additionally, this outreach could include contacting recruiters or headhunters who specialize in working with racial minority groups for placement opportunities.

Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut answer. While laws typically prohibit employers from discriminating against individuals based on their race, many jurisdictions also have laws which prohibit racial preferences in hiring decisions. Therefore, any preference provided to candidates from certain racial backgrounds must be done so in a legal and non-discriminatory manner.
