I really don't understand the animosity in this thread against top of funnel diversity tactics. What is so offensive about interviewing more women, people of color, etc? Why do you automatically assume "breaking down barriers to employment"? Do you think people from these groups are inherently unable to pass the same interview?

I've had two job search workers insist on those "top of funnel" tactics when I searched for a job and when I refused two separate workers refused to give me an interview through anything but a diversity recruiter. I didn't really want to take a job from somebody who would hire me just because I went over one of their lines and checked the right boxes and not because I was the best.
