How does everyone feel about blind hiring? I've been kicking around the idea of suggesting it to my team but I wanted opinions. Do you think it works? What are the pros/cons?

A long term solution is to continue to educate on bias, inclusion and stereotyping.

As adults, people need to work on their self awareness around unconscious and affinity bias. This is responsibility of the individual. Why develop with technology/solutions to support peoples ignorance?

In my experience, it has the opposite effect. My last company did it, and it actually made DEI more challenging.

I love the idea but the recruitment/technical piece of it still needs to be fleshed out

Companies should encourage their people to self reflect on affinity/unconscious bias, as well as actively provide data around hiring their inclusive (or lack Therof) practices.

I have thought a lot about this. I really do think it is the way to go. I wish plaves would do this more often.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide.

Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.
