When I started working in the late 90's I had worked for this old guy who now looking back was way smarter than I caught on. He always said crotchety shit like: I'd ask hey lets put a job ad in the newspaper and he'd respond, " When you go fishing for trout it's best to cast your line by a stream and not out in the ocean." I'd have a stack of resumes to contact and he once picked up half of them and threw in the trash. He said "You don't want to work with unlucky people" I wonder if Enterprise HR's cultures have gotten so PC that they're losing sight on the companies needs. It'd be better to go to largely black universities, or smaller colleges. Code quizzes and job fairs on college campuses attract people who can afford to go. The kids I've helped largely have families that need them outside of college, and jobs. Maybe an internship/mentorship-hire program would be better fit than a top-down candidate approach.
