I wonder if increasing the average age of your employees could cause younger candidates to be less eager to join.

- walshemj 12y agoonly if the younger employers are ageist take your argument and apply it to women, African American or Latino?
- skrebbel 12y agoNot the younger folks I'd want on my team. Note, I said "older", not "boring".
- jiggy2011 12y agoProbably not as much as the other way around.
- kelukelugames 12y agoOnly if it's at an extreme. I have heard of interns saying they didn't want to work at company X because every interviewer was over the age of 30. I've also heard people complaining about not seeing a single woman or any person of color. I strongly advocate representing diversity in the interview loop: Include a recent college hire, a senior dev, an ethnic person, and a woman. Or maybe just have all interviewers be brogrammer--each company can shape their own talent pool demographics.
