(CercleFinance.com) – Wells Fargo responded yesterday evening to information from the New York Times that the American bank had rigged job interviews reserved for candidates from diverse backgrounds.
According to the New York daily – which cites employees currently working or having worked for the group – black people and women are often offered an interview for positions that have already been filled.
‘These interviews, they say, are more about documenting Wells Fargo’s diversity efforts on paper – including for potential regulatory audits – than about actually hiring more women and people. color,” the newspaper explains.
In a press release published Thursday evening, Wells Fargo affirms that ‘no one should be offered a job interview without a real chance of landing an offer, period’.
The Californian financial group, however, indicates that it has decided to temporarily suspend its directive concerning the application of its inclusion and diversity policy in order to ensure that recruiters understand how it should be applied.
It notes, however, that at the end of 2021, 45% of its employees in the United States were non-white, with African-American employees representing 13% of the total workforce.
