"You’ll find the departments are predominantly staffed with women... They are hiring predominantly male candidates for positions whose duties they typically don’t understand. "
"Those ladies down in HR..."
So the article makes some good points about HR filtering candidates based on questionable heuristics, but the gender of the people in HR being mentioned as somehow relevant sticks in my craw.
Further, the suggestion that there are secret policies in HR to hire people with degrees from good schools is BS.
These policies occur because of the need to justify individuals/policies, etc to managers that lack technical expertise and also fail to utilize the expertise of their experts on who to hire.
