So, if ten people apply for three vacancies and the three outstanding candidates happen to be white, a Black or Asian candidate is the fourth best candidate and the remaining candidates are not good enough, does that mean the fourth candidate has to get the job?
Isn't that discriminating against one of the more suitably qualified applicants?
Is that really how it works because that doesn't seem right to me.
