The Wall Street model is to hire thousands of entry-level workers every year to create a pipeline of talent. By taking in more Black and Latino employees, CEO David Solomon hopes to eventually improve the diversity at more senior positions.

issued new goals to help boost diversity at the Wall Street bank, including a target of doubling the hiring of entry-level bankers and traders from historically black colleges.

Solomon told employees Wednesday in a staff email that after setting goals last year to hire more Black and Latino employees, the New York-based firm had the "highest representation" of Black workers and a majority of women in its 2020 analyst class. Analysts, typically recent college graduates, are on the lowest rung of Wall Street's hierarchy. Associates are one level up, followed by vice presidents and managing directors. The Wall Street model is to hire thousands of entry level workers every year to create a pipeline of talent. Many typically depart for private equity, hedge funds or start-ups." of having half of all new analysts and entry-level associates hired in the U.S. be women, 11% black, and 14% Latino.

The bank said Wednesday that it wanted to have 40% of vice presidents globally be women, 7% black in the Americas and U.K., and 9% Latino in the Americas by 2025.

How about stepping up your recruitment NOW?

Great! That will bring you total of black employees up to say? .005% of total employees? And I am sure you will pay them equal to their “white” counterparts. Hooray for GS PR bullshit.

Trump cultists calling for a boycott of GS in 3 2 1...

That’s racist. Hire whoever is best fit for the job not the color of the skin because it makes you look good.

1. If you think they are a qualified pool to hire from, why does it take 5 years? 2. Everyone knows Goldman Sachs isn't known for its 'diversity' so doubling 'your minority population' does even less than just sending them a check. Great P.R. move though! It made the paper...

Haha. Yeah all three of them

Definition of racism...

How condescending.

What about asians

From 2 to 4? Wow!!!!

Thanks

How about just hiring the most competitive without regard to race or gender

Why does it take 5 years? Stupid

Great quess. FIVE years from now😄

Won’t do one darn thing to help inner cities where the problems continue to flourish.

Good old times when people where hired based on their qualifications and not based on the skin color.

Hiring them because they’re black? How about hiring the best candidate no matter what race they are

Well, in that case, I'll double the number of cocks I suck by 2025.

and this is to accomplish what ?

So they are hiring based on race? There is a word for that practice.

Just hire the best regardless of skin color.

As a stock holder, please just hire the BEST candidates. I don’t care about skin color. Hire purple people from Mars if they score highest in pre-employment screening. Save your bleeding heart for after work and on weekends!

From 1 to 2

Pandering

Why? Goldman Sachs should be hiring the best and brightest without regard to skin color. This is racist

Making company desicions based on any skin color vs. content of the individual’s character is exactly what MLK spoke against. But hey, more power to ya.

Maybe they could take the extra step and finance minority bankers education. Call it an investment.

Cause corruption knows no color.

So 2?

Get up honey. Don't worry, my job is safe...he's a master platitudes.

If hiring is based on competence instead of race, I don’t mind there is 100% of Indian colleges

Qualifications be damned. Skin color is what we want.

Not enough

So until now they were selecting only white candidates ! Or mostly white candidates !? Wt..

The fact the 'black collages' exist is a joke.

Sounds pretty racist

Yeah, from 2 to 4 or something

So they’re hiring based on color?

Can Hunter Biden claim all the hookers he has hired during COVID to no longer count on un-employment records?

AronFlam Bardissimo helt sjukt

so... 2... nice...

2+2

So stupid. I work at one of the Bulge Brackets. most of the Hispanic/Black bankers that are part of diversity quota come from extremely wealthy backgrounds. Just further putting poor white and asian males at a disadvantage smfh

Racist policies then

Why not just hire the best...which would include all races?

Bruce Willis looks great.

Brown colleges better luck in 2069

I hope GoldmanSachs is creating a runway and blueprint for their success. The issue is also retention and compensation structure.

jokes on them, banks wont be around in 2025

Why not now?

Long Bitcoin, short the banks

So 2 then?

HBCU president on the unique challenges faced by students“They have this confluence of factors; economic, health, and now police issues, that make it very challenging for our students to be hopeful about their future,” Ruth Simmons says of challenges HBCU students face amid the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Simmons is correct about the multiplicity of issues facing HBCU students. That's why 🇺🇸 descendants of enslaved people (ADOS) need reparations. Our black students will never have parity, until we make sure they receive financial compensation. 350 yrs of slavery & Jim Crow!
