There's a difference between action buzzwords and clear explanations of what you did. "Drove a process to innovate that led to massive KPI improvements" is very buzzwordy but not at all clear. :-) If anything I think bias would lead to lower-than-expected scores, as more resumes would end up in the "to interview" pool. But it would be good to validate this against the rejected resumes. I doubt most of the y combinator startups count as "big" companies, and he said he included all of them. He was trying to model "successfully held down a high-expectations technical job" and it seems like he chose a reasonably good heuristic.
