Honestly, I'd just use DEI rules against them to get the qualified candidates.

Make one of the questions to the white male candidate "when I respond to HR about them, I try to be blind for anything, and that includes referring to you as 'they' in the description- is that okay with you?"

Wait for the candidate to reasonably say 'yes' to that.

Then, realize because you got the white male candidate to agree to let you use 'they' as a pronoun, by the rules given of pronouns, the candidate officially counts as non-binary forever more, even if they never use anything but he/him pronouns after this at work (after all, if you were non-binary for even one second in your life, by the rules you're nb forever and ever.)

You can now go to DEI/HR and say "this candidate is non-binary and you're giving a job to a diverse candidate" to hire the people who can do the work.

I've noticed some people at my work have started using 'they' to refer to anyone - even those who use gendered pronouns in their signatures. Makes communication very confusing.
