Yes it will! That pattern matching is based on prior experience and if the entire makeup of candidates changes that'll cause people to pattern match differently. If old prejudices are taking a while to die out, it won't be long until someone smart realizes there's whole groups of qualified candidates who aren't getting the same offers as others and hires them

There's an argument to be made that this is exactly what pipeline-level DEI programs are!

That's an efficient market theory, and it's extremely optimistic about how real people work.
