As part of the application process, all applicants must respond to the following self-attestation however, participation in the Diverse Talent Stream is completely voluntary. Applicants who choose to self-identify will be filtered into both the Diverse Talent Stream, which is exclusive to applicants from the four groups, as well as the all-applicant talent pool, which is open to all SEO applicants. Applicants who do not belong to any of the four groups or who choose not to identify will be assigned to the all-applicant talent pool. Please note Diverse Talent Stream candidates will not be required to disclose their individual identities.
