Attracting + Retaining the Best Engineers as you Scale
summary
Data from Hired shows 69% ask for less, same-role women are paid less 63% of the time with an average gap of 4% (sometimes up to 45%), 54% of women know they are underpaid and 75% of employees would avoid companies with wage disparity; at this pace the gap closes in 2152. Concrete steps: start at retention (parental leave, ERGs, no midnight happy hours), run structured rubrics and unconscious-bias training, publish salary ranges, A/B test sourcing, and make hiring managers jointly responsible for diverse pipelines.
