- sparaker 11y agoHiring isn't just about how people code. Alot of times you run into other disconnected problems, like team members not getting along, people working in opposite directions, and so on.
- x1798DE 11y agoHow does that relate to profile pictures, though?
- sparaker 11y agoIt highlights a similar unrelated idea.
- mauricemir 11y agoYes, in a way beyond a certain basic competence the coding is the easy bit. And if its all about the meritocracy why have "grad" in the name or do those of us who didn't goto uni count
- ceejayoz 11y agoIf you can tell from a profile picture that you won't get along with someone, you might have a bit of a problem.
- mauricemir 11y agoActually good employers often throw out applications with pictures - to avoid any race/sex discrimination issues.
- noarchy 11y agoThis is a North American practice. There are some countries where it is common to attach a photo to a CV.
- mauricemir 11y agoIts best practice in the UK I am surprised that the EU hasn't clamped down on this in the rest of europe.
- M8 11y ago"I'm a white dude, it shouldn't hurt me" - not unless you become a victim of positive discrimination.
