So I cannot say I have personally reviewed the studies on diversity improving outcomes, but I have a suspicion that it applies only when all other things are equal (as in talent/skills/performance were all as equivalent as they could be vs the non diverse comparison). My point is there is hardly ever a scenario where you are presented with >1 candidates which have equivalent skills and some happen to be diverse.
Someone else made the point though, that we probably suck as determining level of skill/performance anyways? I can personally attest to that, and maybe based solely on that fact, hiring for diversity might be a winning strategy, I simply don't know. I know I am terrible at judging others skill/performance during an interview, and am striving to improve it.
