It’s hard to believe that after nearly 25 years, today is my last day of work at the @gatesfoundation. I want to extend an extra special thank you to foundation colleagues & alumni for all they’ve taught me over the years & for all the ways they’re carrying this work forward. ❤

When we offered redo interviews, we saw more than 50% of candidates do better the second time — and that number jumped to 60% for Black candidates. 📈 @QuartzAtWork spoke more on the topic with #Karat President and Co-Founder @JefferySpector. hubs.la/Q01K3G4s0

This simple message Dutch put on the board in the #aztecs locker room for FAU game. As in defend like you do crash the boards make shots and out tough the opponent. That’s who they are and that’s how you come from 14 down to play for the national championship.

Today is a big milestone for @karat: we have acquired @triple_byte's technical assessment product and team. @mobhende and I started Karat to unlock opportunity, and today is a big step forward towards fulfilling our purpose.

When @jeffreyspector and Mohit Bhende founded @karat, they had two goals: be successful and serve a purpose. A decade into building their company, they still say the biggest lesson they’ve learned is that success and purpose were actually one goal. nvp.co/3GEIXxR

Loved the @WSJ article about the psychology of penalty shots. I know I’m not the only one who wondered why Croatia’s players coolly made theirs while Japan missed, or why Spain failed on all 3 of its kicks. Applies to many high-stakes scenarios! #WorldCup linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Check out my @karat co-founder @mobhende's predictions for 2023 – with thoughts around DEI, the recruiting model (and what must change), & the need to focus on candidates’ ability to learn (vs. skills/pedigree). Great read!

I can think of no better org to donate to on this #GivingTuesday than @adaacademy. 95+% of students get jobs as FT software engineers upon completion, with an avg salary increase of ~150% vs before the program. + the industry gets built in a more equitable, representative way.

Big day! When we created the #BrilliantBlackMinds program, we knew that doubling the # of Black engineers in tech would be a bold goal. Crystal Moore is joining Karat to help scale this movement -- strengthening our partnerships with orgs who have long been committed to this work
