Not quite. Your quote is missing context: they hired the best candidates from the schools they visited. That’s not the set of all schools, though!
They tried to correct this by visiting schools whose CS demographics more closely match the general population.
- curiousgal 9y agoThey also say > this meant going to some never-before-visited schools as well as cutting out a few schools that had been on our list before They wouldn't have eliminated those schools if the new schools produced better candidates.
- achompas 9y agoGreat catch, I missed that. EDIT: Wait, I rushed and misread your comment. Why wouldn't they eliminate these schools if the new schools produced better candidates? I would imagine it was the opposite: remove schools because the new schools produce better candidates, and time is finite.
