Nice method
-
It totally works for weeding out the bigots, too.
(If the office festooned with pride flags wasn't going to be enough of a clue...)

@benroyce not just techbros, works across job functions in my experience
-
there really is a difference between an asshole American techbro who was gung-ho about gamergate, and some guy from an ME or African or SE Asian country who managed to get the education necessary to work in a tech job in the US or EU and who has real problems addressing women directly. that difference is actually codified legally; you can decline to hire someone who's rude but not discriminate on the basis of national origin.
it's late so that's all I will say in response, other than cute as the OP was, it's not always as cut-and-dried as you make it out to be. if only that were so
i think anyone from any culture can understand hierarchy in employment situations, and what you're saying seems rather patronizing to people from other cultures. you're saying they are unable to understand the power dynamic of an interview scenario

we have to teach them before examination.
But you are right.
Thanx a lot for expirience exchange.
Cheers, mate!

your average person of average intelligence can understand social context and code switch easily
how we act around each other, gender related or not, is very different in church/mosque/temple, vs the home, vs the street, vs the coffee shop, vs employment scenario, etc
how a person acts in their home country vs adopted country is all code switching too
anyone can grasp context and expectations instantly
"we have to teach them" seems condescending to me
-
@RichiH that is harder because they're just looking in the camera. But other cues like whose questions they engage with and how long and the overall differential in their emotional tenor can still be gauged

This is about 'culture fit' isn't it.
Like, if that culture is yt cis dude sports huel bro-down last in the office wins, then that's the way it is and you have to fit in.
But if the culture is queer/trans positive syndicalist caring-responsibility and MH aware diversity forward then that's dangerous and discriminatory?
No. Tech interviews are nice, but what you really want to do is avoid dickheads who'll break a working team.

@benroyce @Jamoteusz @draNgNon can you explain why is that bigotry and misogyny?

@benroyce Really? That's nuts, I got taught that in an interview you make an effort to address everyone there. It's an _interview_, they're all deciding to hire you or not.
Maybe I should write a book on how to mask like a human. But then again, some techbro might read it, so perhaps not.

There are a lot of US cultural assumptions that are awkward in the UK, make no sense at all in .de and even less in .pl (for instance)
Yet us anglophones are still making those assumptions.
Also, writing about any of it requires technical language in the same way that writing about, say, unix does.

-we used to have this as a criterion (in Finance) 15 years ago, if we had enough interviewers to do 2:1 (any gender mix)
