I’ve witnessed candidates pass interviews yet fail to be advanced for open positions because they were not in the correct demographic - this was put in writing as the explicit cause. Ironically these were not “white guys,” but candidates who would be considered a minority in the tech industry, just not the right one for executive metrics.

This seems to be quite illegal according to the EEOC website, yet as another poster notes there is no chance that it would be pursued if reported.
