Aline Lerner, I think this is why having hackerrank tests, or similar, to weed out candidates helps, because you could make something like that a non-biased test. Granted there are still steps along the way that can cause good candidates to drop out, but it gets us closer to a more fair system. I think the "Cultural" fit part of the interview needs to be non-biased somehow too, but difficult to gage without sitting next to someone face to face. Most importantly though, we have to come up with an inclusive culture before we can start to allow a truly diverse team to be created or survive turnover.

Great response Aline. All the responses were great, yours just struck a cord with me I guess!
