>>degree-less candidates, companies that filter out depressed candidates, companies that filter out transgender candidates, etc.
Sorry, these are completely different things and frankly sounds like nonsense.
- cyorir 9y agoWould you say that there is no discrimination along these lines, and that most companies aren't biased against, say, transgender candidates when making hiring decisions? I'm just curious.
- throwaway_374 9y agoI've no doubt that tech is discriminatory - as a minority myself I've definitely experienced odd feedback at interviews "the team were impressed by your abilities but we've decided to proceed with someone else" etc. I just mean to compare rejecting degree-less candidates is not equivalent to discrimination against "non-fit" groups (gender, ethnic, sexuality minorities) as a degree is a technical qualification and not a protected characteristic.
