As the inner-linked, and happily archived ABC article [ https://archive.is/E6Ar1 ] states, they never actually apologized.
As a company with diverse leadership, we are especially sensitive to, and aggressively oppose, discrimination in any form. We deeply regret this occurrence, and we are especially saddened by the pain it caused and by the resulting misperception of our values. Aptude is, and takes great pride in being, a wholly diverse organization. The majority of our ownership, leadership, and staff consist of minorities, and all of us at Aptude are passionate about supporting diversity and the long overdue social change we are experiencing. We hope to be judged by our proven, diverse history and a place that welcomes all.
They have "regrets" and are "saddened" about 'misconception'.
They regret they were too explicit about what they're doing. If they had hid their discrimination behind "metrics that we swear aren't 'quotas'" and policies requiring interviewing "diverse" candidates before making an offer like everyone else they could have flown under the radar.

Leftist apology = we will try this shit again after we've redefined enough words to make it stick
Why would they? Racists have no reason to apologize for racism.
