> they want you to make sure you're making serious consideration of candidates in under-represented groups in order to show commitment to DEI targets.

It's illegal to hire based on demographics. I'm sure lots of places do it. It's lazy to me for HR not to provide feedback to the candidate based on some "upside" or vague liability.

> How do you think honest feedback of "you should stop providing misleading descriptions of your work experience in your resume" goes over?

This sounds like a really contrived scenario. I've been the hiring manager for several positions and I've never seen enough evidence to call out a candidate for something like this. Anyways, if it were true, just find a nice way to say it: "we were unclear about your work experience and the details didn't match our job description".
