I'm sending an email to about 200 employers on how interviewing is broken in tech and how to fix it.
Underrepresented folks in tech - What advice do you want to give these employers on how to fix their interview process?
I'll share your answers in the email. Thank you all!

For technical interviews, do “choose your own adventure” - either a take home project OR pair programming with the interviewer OR whiteboarding OR (etc.). Give candidates their best chance to show you what they can do.

If the company can only pick one of those (for some reason), the company should always go with a take home project and ask them about it after. This is the most realistic of them all since you often work independently at work anyway.

Picking whichever one most closely matches your current workstyle is a distant second place IMO. You’ll only hire people who are comfortable with that, which limits diversity. (And yes, with every new hire your work style might shift a bit. Teams are immutable!

Oh absolutely. Candidates should have choice. My comment was for the companies who claim that they can't use multiple processes because of some nonsense. If they say that, then they should be encouraged to go for the take home since that is most flexible
