yeah but it’s no secret that firms can see the number of people belonging to a certain diverse group to monitor their own DEI targets. They are just softer than what they had in the US but they still exist

I feel like your example is a bit strange because if someone did nothing other than getting top grades in uni, 100% the candidate who did something in addition to securing a high 2.1 would be the preferred candidate at the screening stage.


What used to be the case in the US is that, if recruiters saw a CV from the same law school, but one person identified as white and had 4.00 and the one person identified as something else and had like 3.75, the non-white person would receive the kind of boost almost comparable to 4.00. That’s basically the US affirmative action, and what you described would be very similar to that if the private school person also had part-time jobs during university
