        1. IMO one thing "blind" hiring processes miss is it's blind both ways. Even if gets an interview, you still need to work in the environment.

        If you know nothing about it, you know nothing about whether it's an environment people like you can be successful in.

      Interviewing is very time consuming, so for people who have better options (obv not everyone does) it makes sense to be much more strategic.

    IME with women, they don't interview for fun, and they don't participate in processes unless they feel optimistic about the job.

      (Diversity is more than women, I don't know whether this is true of other underrepresented groups)

        Partly why hiring women hard: don't just convince to *interview*, convince them want to work there, accept interview as a necessary step.
