But “employment decisions are more often individualized decisions,” focusing on the fit between a candidate and a job, she said. The more meaningful effect of the court’s decision is likely to be greater pressure on policies that were already on questionable legal ground. Those could include leadership acceleration programs or internship programs that are open only to members of underrepresented minority groups. For example, a company’s policy may encourage recruiters to seek a more diverse pool of candidates, from which hiring decisions are made without regard to race. That is partly because of the growing attack from the political right on corporate policies aimed at diversity in hiring and other social and environmental goals.
