Reverse Rooney Rule 

When you bring in a qualified balding or greying white male to interview for a job you know you have to fill with a woman or a minority, in order to ensure the whole day is taken up by interviews.
Steve has an interview on Friday but he knows he has no shot at getting the job. They're bringing him in to fulfill the Reverse Rooney Rule so their calendars appear full.
