Coraline Ehmke is an ideologue.
>I had expressed dismay before at our hiring practices. It seemed that whenever we had our monthly engineering all-hands meeting, the new hire announcements featured three more young white guys. I felt that we could do better.
> We had over three hundred applications, almost 75% of them from underrepresented minorities in tech. In the end, we filled all three of our positions with engineers from marginalized communities.
I'm quite curious what the job posting actually said.
What is hilarious about this, is this is the kind of thing that James Damore actually suggested in his memo.
>We can make software engineering more people-oriented with pair programming and more collaboration
Of course he wasn't really specifically referring to the recruitment side of things, but the actual job.
