You are an HR manager who is considering the use of a selection system. You know that it will do a good job at selecting the best workers, but it also screens out members of visible minorities (i.e. disabled people) at a rate much greater than that for other Saudi citizens. Should you use this system or try to find another that does not screen out so many members of visible-minority groups? What if the new system does not do as good a job at selecting the best workers?
