Great post! Excerpts below @kstewart/1493690691469283328
-
"as engineering leaders, we should be focused on hiring qualified underrepresented people every chance we get"
-
"the pipeline problem is actually a networking problem, reflecting a lack of connectivity between the overrepresented and the underrepresented"
-
"Once you’re both invested in working together, the chances are much higher they’ll want to complete your technical exercise and do well on it"
-
"unless someone can define what the bar is and demonstrate that it has been applied consistently for every other candidate (they probably can’t), this phrase is redundant and loaded with bias"
-
"The cultural aspects you promote have a direct impact on whether or not people will feel included at your company"
-
"When people feel accepted and don’t feel singled out as ‘the other’ or ‘the only’ they can put positive energy into collaborating and producing great work"
