Can we always assume that's true? What if I'm a middle aged person who is interested in trying out a startup?

It seems like such a waste of potential talent by not bieng upfront with canidates on your hirring practices.

I'd think definitely not. But these things will be true in most cases. So what that means is that even if a company is completely and absolutely open and invested in being as upfront and inviting to each and every single applicant, you'd still expect to see an employee base that has some groups overrepresented and some groups underrepresented.
