I think I'm on the same side as you, but the right approach to establishing a diverse balance isn't to have litmus tests for individual jobs.

If you want to shift the balance.

1. Start by mixing up your recruitment marketing and messaging to make them more appealing to your target demographic.

2. Then, consider any necessary policy changes to the workplace and culture that would turn away candidates who get a closer look.

3. Lastly, consider using your diversity preference as a tie-breaker among otherwise comparable candidates.

No illegal litmus tests necessary.
