Re: I'm an interviewer at my company and burnt out
#2I don't know, anecdotally, relationships broke down with me and other stakeholders, and I ended up leaving the company, after I pushed hard for an amazing candidate, the first to ever ace my interviews, whereas said other stakeholders wanted a certain diversity candidate, who while I enjoyed meeting didn't do that well. The funny thing is in SF it's the bro-y white guy CEOs who push the wokeness the hardest. Almost feels performative. SF needs to solve these problems if they want to be a tech mecca.

#4I worked at a company where we interviewed frequently in teams of two.
The pairs were chosen mostly at random from the large development team, except that at least one would be more experienced with the company, typically.
The first team of two would get to know the person.
The second team would do a technical interview.
If the candidate did well by getting four thumbs-ups, they would often be invited to have lunch with members of the team they could be joining. Unless lunch went horribly, they would then meet with a director for the final interview.
Eventually the lunch part was skipped, but it was a helpful way to expose potential culture or tech fit problems that were missed earlier.
This process worked really well, with the exception of the candidate often having to explain some part of their background three times.
I’ve never been part of an interview since that I liked as much, and we didn’t wear out.

How is rejecting a candidate soley based on race not racial discrimination?
This is illegal where I live; it is probably why companies never give interview feedback to the interviewees because they make these illegal hiring decisions behind the scenes but then say “it wasn’t a good fit”.

#7Certain demographics are less inclined towards certain jobs. Does anyone seriously think it's a problem that non-white females are represented at less than 0.1% of deep sea welders?
Humans are not all equal in proclivities or even innate abilities.
The proposed solution by diversity campaigners is usually some form of discrimination, usually against white and Asian people. An Asian male has a much, much higher bar to cross to go to university, get a tech job, or otherwise than any other group, for example. It's discrimination and racism in the name of progress.
Equality of opportunity is a given, while equality of outcome is destructive and racist.
