A hiring process can be flawed by excluding a pool of qualified candidates from consideration, even if the ones you hire are capable of performing their jobs.

- aianus 9y agoYes, and in fact this is what the original author was claiming (that non-diverse candidates had a higher false-negative rate) However, if the number of hires is kept constant, and a given process is claimed to be flawed, then you are implicitly stating that one or more offers should have gone to what was a non-hire instead of what was a hire.
- tomkarlo 9y ago"If the number of hires is kept constant" is a huge IF that just doesn't hold up. If Google (or FB, or Apple) could find more candidates that met their hiring bar, they'd hire them as well. It's not a zero-sum game - these companies are constantly short on qualified engineers. [my opinion, not my employer's.]
