We built voice modulation to mask gender in technical interviews
I honestly feel like this sort of thing is a waste of time.<p>Let&#x27;s pretend someone invents the perfect &quot;gender bias-free&quot; system: no names, no faces, voices are flawlessly transcribed on-the-fly so you can&#x27;t pick up on speech patterns.  What if it works perfectly and you still end up hiring more men than women?  I think exercises like this may end up giving people answers they don&#x27;t want to hear.<p>So, stop wasting time with stuff like this.  If you&#x27;re bothered by the fact that there&#x27;s more men in your company than women just hire more women until you get your desired ratio.  You&#x27;ve already made your minds up (&quot;there&#x27;s too many men here, clearly we&#x27;re biased against women during the hiring process&quot;) and I doubt anything will make you think differently, so just go ahead and fix the imbalance.
