In reply to the discussion: What if Romney said "binders full of women's resumes"? [View all]TBF
(32,208 posts)When you are a manager hiring for a job you think about those you know who might be a good fit (you network if you are competent so you know a lot of folks), and you also go over resumes. There are going to be plenty of men, women, minorities of all sorts applying for your job. You seek out qualified candidates and bring them in for interviews & try to find your best fit (someone who is positive, can do the job well based upon past experience - including academics and your behavioral interview, and will fit in with your current team).
If you're an asshole and your current team is only white male Mormons you probably haven't thought much about diversity in your life on any level and in that case I wouldn't hire you to wash my car much less put you in a hiring position. And you certainly have no business thinking you can run such a diverse country. THAT is what is wrong with his "binder of women" comment on substance - for Mitt hiring a woman is an afterthought.
