The set of interviewees is not diverse enough yet for this to matter.
But how come it is not diverse?
Well, it might well be that the set of interviewees is short because many may not want to throw the hat in the ring only to get rejected.
Per your other email on unwritten rules then this not only narrows the pool of candidates but creates even more lack of diversity.
Intuitively, to broaden the set and have the diversity then it must be accompanied by some willingness to change and creating a
bigger pool by mentorship or accepting that there is a ramp up period.
If there is a will there is a way ….
