My opinions are quite controversial, but I think that for most jobs, interviews should be conducted fully in text, through a platform that doesn't reveal anything about the interviewed. This is the only way to combat this kind of bias in recruitment, where it exists too. Teaching people not to discriminate is just the beginning. Changing the system to make discrimination impossible is much, much more important.

Most of the time it's obvious to the person being interviewed too, but how would we know if we don't talk about non-technical things or don't even see each other or talk at all?
- mwcampbell 6y agoWould it help if the work itself were also done fully remotely using only text? I'm with miki123211 on this.
