Nice method

@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

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
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.

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
@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.

@benroyce How about if I answer the question while staring at the wall directly between them?

@benroyce For reference I hate interviews / the thought of interviews. Luckily I've managed to never have a job interview in my entire working career.

@geoffl preferably you answer by standing up and aggressively shouting at whomever
alternatively you answer by sheepishly staring into your lap and never raising your head the entire interview

@benroyce In one company, we had an all-female interview round, because a lot of men behaves like assholes when they're in the room only with women.
-
@benroyce Great. New vague stress to add to the interview process. Should I be talking to everyone when I answer questions or just the asker? What if I forget to look to different people and I've landed on the wrong one that makes me appear sexist? Can I look at no one? One of my goals when I interview is to make the person comfortable and assure them there are no trick questions. When you're having a comfortable conversation with someone you'll often get a sense of who they are.
