Agree that it's Berkson's Paradox.

Just because I see some stronger-worded rebuttals in this thread, I want to point out that just because this is true (it is Berkson's Paradox), that does not mean it cannot be a valuable observation. As the author pointed out, for example, it might mean that this attribute is overweighted in hiring, which is something worth considering.
