They apply.

You just never see their application.

They never make it past the gatekeeper who is looking for diversity.

Out of one hundred people who apply only about 20% get their application passed on.

Usually the person who does the sorting is the lowest ranking member of the HR department.

Some don't even do that. The CV's are sorted by a computer algorithm that is only as good as the person who set the parameters.

You just never see their application.

Where I work, this is patently false. I know people who apply and see their applications.
