What do you mean by "blind auditions" in engineering?

  It can be as simple as looking at the quality and metrics of the work while not seeing name, gender, race, etc. Most experiments where they can see it lead to different results than where they cant. That's evidence of a discriminating bias plus a start on removing it on part of hiring process.

    As I wrote in another comment, I'd like to see a source for that. edit: downvoting me for asking for a source? :)

      Im on mobile and at work right now. Hence holding off on real reply. I never downvote here unless spam or pure hate. I even upvote opponents when they make good points or state common misconceptions worth visibly debunking. Just for future reference. ;)

      Upvoted because I too asked for a source and have yet to see one.

        "Upvoted because I too asked for a source and have yet to see one." Probably because you weren't looking. I spent a little time with Google for you, though, to find some anecdotal, subjective, and scholarly work: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10935155 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10935155
