>>Once you factor out interview data from both men and women who quit after one or two bad interviews, the disparity goes away entirely.

Thanks. That still doesn't prove interviewers have no bias. Biased interviewers could play a significant role in why women quit the platform at a higher rate.

And it definitely does not prove that the voice masking worked to hide gender.

There ABSOLUTELY are biased interviewers.

I have personally heard interviewers say:

- a candidate is "too sexy"

- they want "hot, young Java talent"

- you were hired because "you looked good in a suit"

And I've heard interviewers say that they've decided a priori to hire a woman because they need to hit their diversity target otherwise they won't get their end of year bonus. I don't doubt lived experiences that some interviews are biased against women, the question is whether there's bias in aggregate.
