> They also lied shamelessly about their qualifications which led to absurd situations.

This I have experience with. The word absurd is not an exaggeration, it might not even be enough to describe it.

>They ghosted women systematically which was a nightmare for our project manager.

I dont understand this sentence. Does Ghosted here mean something different to ghosting in hiring?

I assume they didn't answer questions or requests from women, or otherwise silently refused to directly work with them.

Sigh. I would have thought people who worked in Tech would be open minded ( and sometimes too open minded ).

My next question would be if they are doing this to Indian woman or every woman?

What in tech makes you open minded? I work in tech and many of my friends work in tech too and we aren’t particularly open minded. Of course we don’t tell anybody about that…
