They will email the LGBTQ organization at the university. And the only place they'll be is that club. For BOLD most people were only emailing the Hispanic / Black frats & organizations.

I know that Google even has a dedicated team who does interview prep & mock interviews (with real questions btw) for `diversity` candidates. This training is not available to whites / asian males. Obviously if you've interviewed 10x before hand and seen all the real interview questions, you're going to do better.

Basically they are doing everything they can to make sure diversity candidates are applying and have the absolute best chance of getting in.

Throwaway for obvious reasons.

I was once asked to do recruiting at a university. They told me to only collect the resumes of Females, Blacks, and Hispanics. And that they would not consider any other genders/races for the positions. This was for the BOLD program: https://www.google.com/about/careers/students/bold.html.

Talking around with my co-workers, we found Google has multiple programs like this. Another is a program to hire only LGBTQ people for entry MBA positions.

Still afraid to speak up within Google as I fear my job would be at risk.

Google claims its a meritocracy. It used to be a meritocracy , but in the past few years thats no longer the case. We've become a Microsoft.
