You are the Human Resources director at General Motors.You have been asked to hire a new employee who will serve as manager of one of the company's assembly lines.Three people have applied for the job:

Candidate 1:This African American woman is a college graduate with 5 years' experience as an assembly line manager at Ford Motor Company.During her interview with you, she stated that she decided to leave Ford for two main reasons.First, she felt that she was sexually harassed by several male employees who worked on the assembly line.Often, they would make comments about how she was dressed, and that she looked very pretty.One of the workers even asked her out for a date.Second, she noticed that some of the tools being used on the line were old and unsafe.As a result, she contacted the Occupational Health and Safety Inspector for the county.The inspector then did an inspection, and Ford was fined $10,000 for having unsafe tools.After that incident, she felt that she would likely not be promoted to a better job.

Candidate 2: This Latino man is a college graduate with 5 years' experience as an assembly line manager at Toyota Motor Company.During his interview, he stated that he left Toyota because he was bored and is looking for a new challenge in another company.He said that he enjoyed his work at Toyota, but the time had come to leave.

Candidate 3: This white man is the nephew of the CEO.He is a college graduate with 5 years' experience as an assembly line worker at GM.During his interview he stated that he wished to leave his menial job tightening bolts and become a manager.He also said that his uncle thought it was a great idea to apply for the manager's job.

As the Human Resources Director, you have done research into some federal laws that might be important in your hiring decision, including Title IX of the Civil Rights Act.You are concerned that your decision to hire one of these candidates should not result in a possible lawsuit against the company for employment discrimination.You are also concerned that almost all of the workers presently employed on the assembly line are white men.There are only 200 women, and 100 minority workers among the 2400 people on GM assembly lines.You believe that a more diverse workforce is a more efficient workforce.You further believe that a workforce should reflect the composition of the general population: 50% women, and 20% African Americans and Latinos. Finally, you also recognize that the CEO would likely prefer that you hire his nephew.

Which candidate would you hire?Fully explain your answer.
