Hi! Randomly scrolling here but I read your compensation page in the handbook [1] and have a question:
Since compensations are set by/in coordination with the candidates, but are not shared with others, how do you avoid systematic bias? IIRC studies show pretty clearly that e.g. women (for whatever reasons, but let's not go there) systematically negotiate for lower salaries. Do you have processes to at least monitor that to flag if there are indeed such imbalances?
Just asking out of interest. Very nice description & interesting concepts overall!
