Well if nothing it's a slight hack in the experiment she pulled except she didn't appear to end up with a job out of it. But she did seem to prove that monster is lying when they say the "diversity" options won't hurt you.
Also be aware in your company maybe? There are good people out there but maybe HR is "misfiltering" them for some reason.
Again, it wouldn't be a wild assumption to assume this problem in the tech industry and it's a signal that small enterprising startups might be able to scoop some better candidates because other companies have sadly stupidly passed on them.

I don't think there is any indication that the race/gender option on monster had any effect. If there was any racial bias, then I think it is more likely to be from switching away from a clearly ethnic name than the "diversity" information.
- wiredfool 14y agoMonster may or may not be lying. There are at least three things that changed: 1) A new profile might get different responses from an old one. 2) A name will likely be propagated differently than the diversity options. 3) The diversity option.
