Such a report would only contain aggregated data of applicants’ gender, race and/or ethnicity, and would not identify applicants by name or other personally-identifiable information. Some states in which the Firm does business may also require the collection of such information. We provide every applicant, current employee, and newly hired employee the option to voluntarily supply the requested information. Your participation in this Section is entirely voluntary and the status of your application or your potential employment will not be affected by your decision to participate or to refrain from participating in this data collection process. The firm also gathers data regarding veteran status and LGBTQ+, both of which are not required for EEO-1 reporting purposes, however, data related to LGBTQ+ data is requested as part of other surveys or questionnaires we receive. Your decision to provide the information is also entirely voluntary, and your candidacy will not be affected by your decision to participate or not.
