Stellar list. I particularly love #1, given the dramatically higher rate of Imposter Syndrome amongst women (an estimated 60% by some measures). A problem which is only compounded by gender differences in response to factors such as prerequisites - most women only apply for positions where they’re certain they meet 100% of the prerequisites, while men’s threshold is far lower (they tend to apply if they possess a mere 60% of the prerequisites).

Pretty interesting that you had the "role" in last position. Was that by intention or happenstance?

You have a point there. I know very little about aspbergers and would love to know more about the differences between aspbergers and sexism.

I'd use something like verify-email.org. Yes, there are many false-positives but Rapportive will ONLY show a profile if the user has a LinkedIn/social media account(s).

Well done. I've always known these to be privacy holes, but until roughly a year ago when I stepped up my crusade againt these completely unnecessary phishing sites, euphemistically known as "social media". I'm compiling a rapidly growing list of references (just added this one) of the psychosocial, privacy and security reasons to avoid these sites as much as possible. For the few of you that consider yourself save because don't have accounts, think again! Ghost profiles, tagging by "friends" and facial recognition software can easily destory privacy even for non-members.

I agree with these points, except for #6. High tech is, by its very nature, an industry intensely focused on measurement of outcomes; it's quite reasonable to expect that a candidate should be able to empirically evaluate their performance regardless of their gender. A result may not neatly lend itself to a dollar value--e.g., number of users for a free web app that's so disruptive that there's no paid version to compare it to--but there's always time savings or error reduction.

Evaluating your performance numerically shows that you know that work doesn't happen in a vacuum; you're aware that your job performance impacts internal and external clients, and you're willing to figure out how big that impact is.

Everything else in the list is right on, though.

Rachel. I've worked in music and tv for years. Trust me, "boredom" is a lucrative and pervasive problem to solve.

The problem with having a team made wholly with the type of people you describe is when two people "supremely confident in their abilities" disagree on a big ticket item. Then you get into the amazing-rock-band-that-breaks-up scenario which can be witnessed in many start ups around. Also people "extremely confident in their abilities" are specially good at skewing results.

How about giving the men who work for you the freedom to take up flexible working arrangements if they want to be active in the homefront. Giving their wives the chance to achieve more at work. The future for women will only happen when men can take career breaks, work part time, from home etc. It may not mean you get more women in your workplace, but someone else will.

If I were currently hiring, I'd look first to the women I follow on Twitter. Many are in sci-tech fields.

I don't think she's expecting startups to change for her. She's giving advice to startups who want to hire more women.

That said, your suggestion is, as Jason B noted, quite applicable for women applying to startups who haven't read or taken her advice.

(And yes, I know startups don't read, take advice, etc. It's shorthand for the folks doing the hiring.)

By the way, I agree that confidence is important when working in a startup. But supreme confidence may be an Achilles' heel. (I read it as potential arrogance. Can't receive and respond to feedback? Not good in a startup. Or in general.)

Most useful, perhaps, is a mix of people: some with high confidence, others with a bit more caution, and all able to work together.
