There are a few ways you can go about this without getting into legal trouble. You can ask potential candidates about their ethnicity during the job application process, or ask questions during the interview process that can help you identify the candidate’s racial backgrounds without being outright discriminatory. Additionally, you could require all potential candidates to take a written assessment that does not inquire into the candidates racial backgrounds. Finally, you could develop a standard hiring process that you apply to all candidates, regardless of their racial background. Doing so will make sure that your hiring practices are uniform and non-discriminatory.

It is generally discrimination to only hire people of certain colors, so it is best to be explicit in how you say it in the job advertisement or during the interview process. For example, you could state that you are looking for someone with a specific set of qualifications and experiences in the job ad, so that it is clear that you are not discriminating by specific colors. You could also ask prospective employees about their background and experiences during the interviews to determine if they have the necessary skills or not without implying that people of certain colors are not suitable. These practices may not protect you from lawsuits in case it is proven that you did discriminate intentionally, but it can help lower the risk of being sued.
