I&#x27;m not following most of your points here (standalone maybe but not with respect to my comments). No one is saying you don&#x27;t need to ID signals in the noise or define quality indicators of skill.<p>But if your company is taking on the diversity challenge then yes, start with the fact that there is 7+ billion people, (or at least the ones with Github profiles, to your point). And yes, canvas all available channels so you don&#x27;t miss out on people &quot;drummed out... for institutional reasons (there&#x27;s an entire industry that does this). Then start over in defining your signals and indicators --in this case some sweet spot between the people they hope(!) exists and the false positives they wish they had missed.<p>If you&#x27;re not willing to take these measures, simply sit back, do work and try to make money (or in this guy&#x27;s case leave the company since he&#x27;s not in charge). Otherwise, let&#x27;s give retirement to diversity in this year&#x27;s tech hall of fame.
