Maybe. Fixing the culture in that way is not obviously the company's biggest priority. We can agree that it's an ideal, but it also takes resources away from other things and may involve other tradeoffs (even firing some people) that could be worse for the business and employees overall. It's not the kind of decision that can just be made in a vacuum.

It might not be a short term priority, but it should definitely be a long term one.

Currently, the company is restricted to only a subset of potential applicants (male, mid-to-late career, ugly-to-average) for any future hiring needs; that's quite limiting. There's also the possibility of lawsuits for various kinds of discrimination in the future.

OP admitted to actionable sexual discrimination and his post is an admission of liability... it's only a matter of time.

don’t be a bystander, privately dox this guy and his work history and figure it out what company to report

edit: its most likely Netherlands and not the US, less familiar territory for me

It's not on me to report, but if the interviewee in question saw this, she'd have a slam-dunk case. It's a full on admission that they did not hire because of her sex. They clearly have no problems hiring an attractive male, so the fact that they wont hire attractive females is prima facie sexual discrimination. On top of the general context where they are basically not hiring women because they are afraid the men in the office can't behave themselves (fucking disgusting perspective IMO).

yeah you report it to ppl in the company who might flip on the company and contact the interviewer (I’ve been this prior interviewer before who was told I was discriminated against, paunched an EEOC case and got financial settlements with the company)

You can also get a hungry lawyer to launch ads and try to find prior interviewers

I don't know what company the poster works at, so it's not my place to do that
