1. No federal rules that I know of. The company itself might have an internal policy

to that effect, however.

A lot of companies have several particulars in terms of how to go about their employee selection process. Someone I know worked for a large company that required managers to ask certain questions during the interview.

As for interviewing candidates with diverse backgrounds, some companies and organizations do have such policies. The most famous is the NFL's Rooney Rule, which requires NFL teams to interview at least one non-Caucasian when hiring a new head coach.

This company may have a similar policy, and who knows about your state's law (I can't imagine Taft or Kasich supporting such a law). But who knows?
