"Everyone gets a fair chance with me, regardless of background" is an _extremely_ different statement than "anyone with an ounce of technical hiring ability avoids those bootcampers like wildfire".

If you mean "in my experience, bootcampers fail technical screens at much higher rates", then say that, instead of implying that you're stupid if you even consider hiring someone who went to a bootcamp.

If I have a stack of 20 CVs and I can only interview 5, the bootcampers are most likely to get cut.

If I could interview everyone I would, and I'd happily hire a bootcamper that seemed excellent.

The reality is that statistical likelihood of passing screening means those CVs often hit the bottom of the pile.

The two statements I made aren't contradictory
