> A data structures and algorithms test is fair and objective The article makes clear that the issue isn't the content of a technical interview, but rather how it is administered. Specifically, from Chris Parnin, a co-author in the study: > But the format may also serve as a barrier to entire classes of candidates. For example, in our study, all of the women who took the public interview failed, while all of the women who took the private interview passed. Our study was limited, and a larger sample size would be needed to draw firm conclusions, but the idea that the very design of the interview process may effectively exclude an entire class of job candidates is troubling. So the "objective" in-person tech interview excludes a huge bunch of talented applicants because there is nothing objective about it at all.
