They did point out that the first round selection is done based on anonymized applications.
It might not be not perfect, but if round 1 is blind to X, and rounds 2 and 3 admit people in similar ratios to round 1, it sounds pretty good to me.
- yummyfajitas 12y agoThey did not claim that the % passing the blinded stage is the same as the % passing the other stages. The only points they listed were interview #1, interview #2 and admission (none of which are blinded).
- swampangel 12y ago> about 65% of our applications are currently from men, and men are about 65% of the people we invite to interview That sounds to me like the point where blind review of applications would take place.
- yummyfajitas 12y agoThey said the blinded portion is only skimming the application, and they get that info after a minute or two. If they blinded the entire pre-interview process (e.g., browse github profiles/etc through a chrome plugin that changes "nitin patel" to "grande puta"), that would be fairly convincing. Ultimately a quality measurement at the end of the process would be the best, however - measure the outputs rather than the inputs.
