That's silly. That would imply that the hiring process is actually very good at predicting performance, and it's biased towards hiring highly performant people named Jared and less performant people not named Jared, and it's not hiring highly performant people not named Jared and less performant people named Jared.



What are you talking about? I was saying that the biases we have today in our hiring cannot be eliminated by analyzing that data and hiring the same types of people that are "high performance", because you'll be reinforcing the biases we have, rather than eliminating them.
