Work AT Home Like · Reply · 16 mins Lili Balfour · GUEST mentor at The Wall Street Journal Love it, but think this (below) would cause a lot of tension. "Increase your referral bonus to employees/friends for underrepresented candidates." For the record. I am Mexican and attended a public college. I would never want to find out my bounty was higher than that of a white male who attended Stanford. The best way to increase diversity is to provide role models for women and minorities. Use that extra money to create outreach programs that bring women and minorities into the workplace. Black Girls Code is a great example of starting at the core issue -- many people of color are not exposed to technology at an early age. Like · Reply · 4 hrs · Edited Joe Blake · Sheboygan, Wisconsin "Many studies (here and here) show diverse teams make better decisions." True - then the focus should be on hiring people with different talents, abilities, experiences, etc. Focusing only on the gender difference is missing the point. Like · Reply · 11 hrs Sharon Wienbar · Partner at Scale Venture Partners Hi Joe, I agree. When I give talks on this issue, I usually mention that "women" is a shorthand for "different". Each different population faces many similar and some unique challenges. Building an organization that embraces diversity is the big point.

Hence, it is utter futile to attempt any rational conversation with such an entity. Like · Reply · 12 hrs Andrew Pullin · UC Berkeley Homer Smith Such a feeble, transparent attempt to poke me in the eye. Also very telling that you have to lob your handfuls of feces from behind a wall of anonymimity. Do you really not reflect on on you replying to me with a baseless character attack, and accuse me of being incapable of rational conversation? Do you relaly not reflect on how my above comment is about the perils of grossly categorizing people under assumptive premises is woefully flawed? Get real, self-actualize, and participate in society. Like · Reply · 12 hrs Craig Van Nieuwkerk · Swinburne University of Technology Not sure interviewing behind screens would work but there is no reason why there can't be virtual interviews with code tests and interviews done mostly online. It is how most developers work anyway. Like · Reply · 12 hrs Dorte Trine Andersen I find it rather biased that women are supposedly put off by an office with gamer gear and Star Wars paraphernalia. I'm a woman and I play games and love Star Wars. Why not just have the office decorated according to the business, I.E. if it's a company producing games, the obvious choice would be to display gaming gear. If a woman applies for a job in a gaming company, I think it would be fairly obvious she's into games. Just like a guy, shocking, I know… Like · Reply · 1 hr Facebook Comments Plugin Top Top Add a comment...
