Diversity hire
In a corporation, this is a person who was hired solely because of the color of their skin, or their sexual identity, as opposed to their actual skills or contributions to the company. This person is usually employed for reasons including company PR or lower government taxation.
Example:
Jerry: "Which one of us was the useless simpleton who organized all these files incorrectly?"
Harry: "It was Terry, the diversity hire."
Jerry: "If we screwed up as much as he does, we'd be fired."
Harry: "Sadly, Terry is a homosexual black man, so HR won't touch him."
Jerry: "Which one of us was the useless simpleton who organized all these files incorrectly?"
Harry: "It was Terry, the diversity hire."
Jerry: "If we screwed up as much as he does, we'd be fired."
Harry: "Sadly, Terry is a homosexual black man, so HR won't touch him."
Icon For Hire
An awesome band. Although they are supposedly a 'christian' band, the rockin music is anything but and many fans will tell you how they aren't. A very little known band that should be more popular.
Example:
Me: Listen to this apparently 'christian' band, Icon for Hire!
(Friend who only listens to christian music): Woah...that isn't christian music...
Me: It's awesome though right?
(Friend who only listens to christian music): Hell yeah! They rock!
Me: Listen to this apparently 'christian' band, Icon for Hire!
(Friend who only listens to christian music): Woah...that isn't christian music...
Me: It's awesome though right?
(Friend who only listens to christian music): Hell yeah! They rock!
Diversity hire
Have ever looked around your company and noticed how many team leaders and lower management tick diversity boxes? These people are diversity hires. All big corporations have quoters for diversity they need to meet and by hiring and promoting people who tick the right boxes the HR team can feel they are fighting for social justice
Example:
My new ream leader is a diversity hire. Totally useless but the company will cover for him as he's black and gay

personality hire
Someone underqualified for a job but hired anyway purely because they have a great personality/attitude. Personality hires are often very low performers in terms of output but are brought on because of bias / attraction / an effort to boost morale. Someone who is a personality hire is essentially the opposite of someone with impostor syndrome.
Example:
Me showing up to my job, knowing I'm a personality hire who doesn't bring anything to the table, but hey at least I bring good vibes.
