Maybe getting sued if they fire candidates fitting DEI or other protected class?

That's a reasonable assumption. I wonder if it's really going to hold up in court though. Basically wouldn't that imply once a non-white, non-male is hired you're basically with a high probability asking to be sued if you ever terminate their employment? That seems too broad to hold up in court. Couldn't the company say this person failed to meet expectations, so we decided to part ways? But, yeah, sure that's a risk, but idk if that's the real reason companies have all these hoops in their hiring process.

Most cases are resolved out of court, for a multitude of reasons. One being damage to public reputation and employee morale.
