I'm happy to elaborate.

I would make exceptions for positive discrimination, i.e. ensuring underrepresented minorities get through the first stage no matter what.

...is a very different attitude and approach from what I usually see. If you want an inclusive hiring process I think it's harder than just ensuring all the people from underrepresented groups skip one stage of the process, which is how I read this part of your comment. I'd be the first to say I'm not an expert but I certainly made the (???) face when I read that quote.

Can't argue with this - there's 1001 things that everyone can do to make the whole hiring process more equitable, and I'm not saying this is my silver bullet or anything. It's just something I'd consider doing.
