Companies also hire lesser skilled recruits because of their diversity rather
than experience and knowledge.  I'm not sure if this is done because they
believe diversity outweighs experience and knowledge, or they are afraid to
be ridiculed and judged if they didn't choose diversity.  On one project I
worked on a department supervisor told me they were sent an edict from HR
that theu must always hire the most diverse candidate, period.  However, if
they were asked, they were told to deny it.

I worked on one project where I'm guessing one of my co-workers was hired due 
to diversity.  He was a smart guy originally from Honduras, however he had a
weight restriction of 10lbs due to a car accident.  We were rolling out
desktop systems and would have to pick up as much as 50lbs.  He would've been
better suited working in the call center than assigned to working on a
deployemnt team.  We had a similar project involving some interns from a
local tech school, however they were best used when kept in the staging area
performing desktop imaging and outprocessing the old equipment.
